Description

American stereotypes about poorer Mexican immigrants have historically been biologizing in nature, whether the stereotypes were positive (they are a model minority) or negative (they are shiftless, hyper-sexual, or present-thinking). They have also betrayed racist and sexist norms that further biologize these individuals. In the context of the War on Terror and a more global economy, these stereotypes are being redeployed as a form of bio-power and these immigrants are increasingly being viewed as enemies, invaders, or terrorists. The growing anxiety about Mexican immigrants "stealing jobs" and usurping welfare, education and healthcare benefits is being tied to sovereign concerns, treating them as a silent threat that must be stopped. That is, this article argues, they are often treated as bare life, subject to the suspension of the law politically and economically. The result is a workforce whose economic utility increases proportionate to its political immobility and powerlessness. Introduction
