As the distinction between domestic and international is
increasingly blurred along with the line between internal and
external borders, migrants-particularly people of color-have become
emblematic of the hybrid threat both to national security and
sovereignty and to safety and order inside the state. From building
walls and fences, overcrowding detention facilities, and beefing up
border policing and border controls, a new narrative has arrived
that has migrants assume the risk for government-sponsored
degradation, misery, and death. Crimmigrant Nations examines the
parallel rise of anti-immigrant sentiment and right-wing populism
in both the United States and Europe to offer an unprecedented look
at this issue on an international level. Beginning with the fears
and concerns of immigration that predate the election of Trump, the
Brexit vote, and the signing and implementation of the Schengen
Agreement, Crimmigrant Nations critically analyzes nationalist
state policies in countries that have criminalized migrants and
categorized them as threats to national security. Highlighting a
pressing and perplexing problem facing the Western world in 2020
and beyond, this collection of essays illustrates not only how
anti-immigrant sentiments and nationalist discourse are on the rise
in various Western liberal democracies, but also how these
sentiments are being translated into punitive and cruel policies
and practices that contribute to a merger of crime control and
migration control with devastating effects for those falling under
its reach. Mapping out how these measures are taken, the rationale
behind these policies, and who is subjected to exclusion as a
result of these measures, Crimmigrant Nations looks beyond the
level of the local or the national to the relational dynamics
between different actors on different levels and among different
institutions.
