Book Review: Deportable and Disposable: Public Rhetoric and the Making of the “Illegal” Immigrant

Abstract

Flores’ key contribution to the field is to highlight the constitutive force of this figuration in sustaining racial national projects. She argues that the narratives characterizing Mexican migrants as temporary and cheap labor have constituted Mexicans as deportable, disposable, and racialized as illegal.
