The aim of this article is to show that refusing to legalize the status of undocumented immigrants who have been long-term residents is a serious violation of human rights. The "right to have rights" a term coined by Hannah Arendt and developed by Sheila Benhabib A should be construed first and foremost as the right to a legal existence. We take issue with consequentialists who warn that legalizing the status of undocumented aliens will encourage further undesirable immigration, for withholding legal status in order to deter illegal newcomers is neither efficacious nor just. We conclude that "selective" as opposed to "endured" immigration policies are ethically untenable. Adapted from the source document.

In her endeavour to overcome the established methodological, conceptual, and empirical dualism of mobility and migration, Anna Xymena Wieczorek develops a "mobilities perspective" by combining migration studies theories with approaches of the mobility studies. With the help of rich empirical data gathered among young adults of Polish heritage in Germany and Canada, Wieczorek conceptualizes three patterns of (im)mobility which illustrate the diversity of immigrants' geographical movements after their initial migration. She thus reveals the different social configurations promoting or hindering the development, maintenance or shifting of each pattern in migrants' biographical trajectories

The United States experienced a period of sustained large-scale immigration from the 1960s into the period of dramatic economic recession in 2008–2009. This article focuses on the impact of immigrants and immigration on social policy in the United States. I summarize the arguably, and surprisingly, scant research that specifically examines the political and policy (more than the social and/or economic) implications of immgration. I first look at the extent and nature of change within and across three minority groups over the past several decades, including evidence on their composition and geographic concentration or dispersion. Next considered are the implications of the American "racial order" as a context and its impacts on "racialization" of immigrants. Next examined are the consequences for immigrants in major arenas of American government—urban, state, and national. Although emphasis is given to issues of immigration, the importance of race/ethnicity as a social force in American politics is also considered, of necessity, because immigration and race/ethnicity are strongly interconnected though analytically separable.

Examines Mexican settlement in North Carolina where immigration law & the Migrant & Seasonal Agricultural Workers Protection Act are loosely enforced & the H-2 program that provides temporary employment visas is heavily used. The dramatic increase in immigration during the late 1980s & early 1990s was spurred by amnesty provisions of the 1986 Immigration Reform & Control Act which encouraged immigration by legalizing large numbers of Special Agricultural Workers. In addition to agriculture, Mexican immigrants were drawn to work in North Carolina's poultry processing, meatpacking, seafood processing, & fishery industries. Signs of a convergence between expansion of the H-2 program & an increase in undocumented immigration are explored. Other issues discussed include various ways in which North Carolina differs from other nontraditional Mexican destinations; factors that contribute to the increasing power of Mexican, such as the institutionalization of H-2 programs in labor markets; & the formation of Mexican communities. Prospects for the future are discussed. Tables, References. J. Lindroth
