Even though the Italian and Spanish governments are apparently sincere about integrating immigrants into their respective societies, the deep logic of their immigration law is to marginalize the immigrant “Other.” In both cases, this contradiction is covered up by distinguishing between “legal” and “illegal” immigrants. However, the border between “legal” immigrants (who are to be integrated) and “illegal” immigrants (who are to be excluded) is fictional and fluid. As a result, the effects of marginalization permeates the border between the two. Given the rhetoric of politicians everywhere—including in the United States—welcoming “legal” immigrants while viciously attacking “illegal” immigrants, Calavita's analysis should raise questions for anyone concerned about immigration law and policy. It should also be of interest to legal scholars in general who wish to understand the contradictions of law in defining its subjects.Immigrants at the Margins begins with a detailed description of the politics behind Italian and Spanish immigration laws (chapter 2). In both nations, a “social rights oriented” version of immigration law—providing housing, health, and education benefits to immigrants and encouraging their social membership—was short lived. It was replaced by a “police oriented version” that monitors immigrants and constantly attempts to …" @default.
