We can think of this case as representing an instance of highly formalized power (the U.S. state) and an instance of extreme powerlessness (undocumented immigrants). To gain some closure on this vast subject, I will focus on the tensions between current policies for controlling immigrants and what we can think of as new elements in the immigration reality. The particular policies that stand out involve the militarizing of border control. The particular changes in the immigration reality can be thought of as bits—as in digital bits—that are getting assembled into a somewhat novel reality constituted through both well-established conditions and emergent bits whose status is often unclear: they may or may not support that long-standing reality. Here I confine myself to certain bits in a multi-bit reality in the making which are unsettling basic alignments on which immigration policy rests. They also reveal the limits of even the most powerful state in the world to get its way, and they show that in certain settings, powerlessness becomes complex. Let me illustrate with two recent cases.","PeriodicalId":308991,"journal":{"name":"Routledge International Handbook of Contemporary Social and Political Theory","volume":"30 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116571136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
