- W2488167152 abstract "Sergio Chávez's Border Lives arrives in the thick of heated debates over immigration to the United States. While most contemporary political discussions of immigration bifurcate immigrants into simple “legal” and “illegal” categories (Donato and Armenta 2011), Chávez's work complicates these groupings by documenting the experiences of “border commuters,” Mexican residents who regularly navigate back and forth across the Mexico-US border for work. Although some border commuters enter the United States with work authorization, others may do so with a tourist visa or border-crossing card (BCC) and without formal work authorization. These migrants, who live in Mexico but work in the United States, are often overlooked in the policy debates over immigration. Chávez's book thus illuminates how federal immigration policy is often disconnected from the everyday reality of cross-border flows. Set in Tijuana, Mexico, a border city within walking distance of neighboring San Diego County, California, Chávez's study draws on rich ethnographic and interview data among border commuters. Through interviews with 118 commuters and 40 non-commuters he met over the course of his study, he uncovers the everyday experiences of commuters and how they contrast with those of non-commuters. In particular, he explores how commuters, many of whom have left their rural communities of origin and settled in bustling Tijuana, “establish roots in the borderlands, find work in the United States and Mexico, develop family and friendship ties that aid in the settlement process, and cross the border using legal and extralegal means across distinct historical periods” (2). Chávez's analysis highlights how different cohorts of commuters exhibit agency against the backdrop of an ever-restrictive set of immigration policies enabling or constraining their cross-border movements." @default.
