| مستخلص: |
The state-led immigration laws of 2010 and 2011 are but the most recent examples of anti-immigrant activity which cycles throughout the United States’ history. This article addresses why particular states passed anti-immigration legislation and why all the policies center on criminal penalties and enhanced enforcement. We argue that partisan control and specific demographic changes in the context of increased national attention to immigration help explain the origins of the state immigration restriction laws. Additionally, to explain the content of these pieces of legislation, we argue that these policies centered on criminal penalties and enhanced enforcement because of a larger political narrative that privileges crime as a central mode of governing. The governing regime of crime and security control provides narratives about sovereign power and economic interests, embodied in the detention industry, that determine the specific content of state level legislation that furthers the criminalization of the immigrant.
