When addressing the visibility of “illegal immigrants” and the invisibility of the law Nicholas De Genova makes a striking point about the way we understand the issues that are being presented to us and how it contrasts with the way the law and its backing is perceived. In general, topics and news about migrants is well known and usually gets coverage on the news, social media, etc. Many of us are aware of the tightening or restrictions that continue to take place in our country. We know of the immigration “problems” that are plastered on television stations and internet articles very well. In a sense, it is quite easy to be aware of major events and discussions. On the other hand, the actual law, the reason the law is the way it is, and even possible ways to help alleviate associated issues or plans to make resolutions are either unclear, are not talked about, or are not existent. It really brings to light the way in which our views and understanding of topics such as “illegal immigrants” has been shaped by our culture, the way in which we look at the other, and not necessarily at the hard facts of what it is to be a migrant. This idea somewhat pairs with the idea that Heath Cabot closes with, that the issues of crises “become too tiresome to generate public scholarship,” something that I think is necessary to bring about changes that both inform and produce long lasting measures.
