Abstract
This chapter considers the ways in which the politics of borders and immigration enforcement affect the dynamic between local and municipal government and the federal government which has, arguably, a stronger hold over immigration enforcement and border control. The current political context is unique in that states reinforce control over borders and immigration in response to the perceived weakening of borders due to the effects of globalization including, but not limited to, the movement of goods and global terrorism. The ‘securitization of migration’ also adds an element to the politics of recognition within the movement which are intertwined with the development of sanctuary regions.
