What does it really mean to be "undocumented," particularly in the
contemporary United States? Political philosophers, immigration
policy makers, and others have tended to define the term
"undocumented migrant" legalistically-that is, in terms of lacking
legal authorization to live and work in one's current country of
residence. In Socially Undocumented, Reed-Sandoval challenges this
"legalistic understanding" by arguing that being socially
undocumented is to possess a real, visible, and embodied social
identity that does not always track one's legal status. She further
argues that achieving immigration justice in the U.S. (and
elsewhere) requires a philosophical understanding of the
racialized, class-based, and gendered components of socially
undocumented identity and oppression. Socially Undocumented offers
a new vision of immigration justice by integrating a descriptive
and phenomenological account of socially undocumented identity with
a normative and political account of how the oppression with which
it is associated ought to be dealt with as a matter of social
justice. It also addresses concrete ethical challenges such as the
question of whether open borders are morally required, the
militarization of the Mexico-U.S. border, the perilous journey that
many migrants undertake to get to the United States, the difficult
experiences of the women who cross U.S. borders seeking prenatal
care while pregnant, and more.
