- W821513109 abstract "I. Framing Border DiscourseSecuring is essential to securing the homeland. . . . I appreciate once again being here with the Border and Immigration officers.. .. By defending border, you 're defending liberty, and citizens, and way of life.President George W. Bush,November 28, 2005, Tucson, ArizonaA. Articulated PrioritiesIn the post-September 11th world, border security is a mantra of the United States' war on terror.2 The U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), a division of me Department of Homeland Security, has a $6.7 billion budget for fiscal year 2006, making it one of the most rapidly expanding areas of federal spending.3 As CBP Commissioner Robert Bonner stated, Today global terrorism is a real threat that allows no room for error. The President's budget, and the funding for technology, reflects me imperative of securing if we are to protect America against that threat.4As explained by President George W. Bush in November 2005, the United States' requires comprehensive immigration reform, beginning with securing me border.5 Toward this end, the President announced a three-part plan that involves accelerating the removal of every undocumented immigrant, amending immigration laws to eliminate rules that require the government to release illegal immigrants if their home countries do not take them back in a set period of time,6 and deterring crossings by adding patrol agents, utilizing technology such as unmanned aerial vehicles and infrared cameras, and expanding me construction of physical barriers.7Existing policies already have harsh human consequences. Each year hundreds of people the of exposure, thirst, or drowning while attempting to cross me from Mexico,8 and families remain separated for years, even decades.9 Currently me United States holds about 20,000 immigration detainees, many in state, local, or private jails and prisons, in overcrowded and degrading conditions.10 Eliminating the senseless rules requiring the release of those who cannot be deported would, in effect, sentence those who cannot return to their home countries to life in prison.11The human suffering that will inevitably result from the harsher control policies advocated in the name of protecting our homeland has triggered another round of debates about the costs and benefits of particular policy changes. Should those who provide food, water, or medical care to the undocumented be criminally prosecuted? Would a temporary guestworker program reduce the economic incentives to migrate unlawfully or simply leave more noncitizens in legal limbo?13 Will expediting removal result in more asylum seekers being returned to conditions of torture or deam?14 Debate on such issues is critical, but we cannot effectively evaluate particular policies without understanding the framework in which these choices are offered.15If the premises underlying the debate are false, their unquestioned acceptance may mean that well-intentioned efforts to humanize the process reinforce a fundamentally flawed system, ultimately doing more harm than good. To have a meaningful discussion of immigration reform we must be willing to interrogate most basic assumptions underlying current policy, including notions of states, sovereignty, and the powers of government asserted in the name of governed subjects. To have a sound basis for evaluating the implications of particular legislative and policy decisions, we must acknowledge those assumptions that we consider obvious and be willing to assess the accuracy and legitimacy of presumptions upon which we rely. This essay is only a small piece of that larger project; one that raises some of the social, historical, and legal questions that are prerequisites to developing a coherent framework within which issues can be productively examined. …" @default.
