21世纪头十年末,美国的肉类加工厂在联邦移民突袭行动中失去了三分之一的无证拉丁裔工人,肉类加工厂开始招募弱势但“合法”的难民工人来接替他们。2020年春天,当新冠肺炎威胁要停止肉类加工时,两项单独的行政命令指定肉类加工对美国的食品体系至关重要,并对难民在美国的重新安置施加了新的限制。本文将马克思关于种族、劳工和资本主义的文献与批判性的难民研究相结合,考察了难民既是脆弱劳动力的“基本”来源,又是对美国民族国家的“被禁止的”威胁的悖论。我们认为,难民被安置在肉类加工厂的工作实际上是非自由劳动力的原始积累。在美国的“基本”肉类加工工作中,种族资本主义与无国籍条件和不平等的公民权利相联系,使“被禁止的”难民有权从事肉类加工工作。
When meatpacking plants in the United States lost a third of their undocumented Latinx workers to Federal immigration raids in the late 2000s, the industry began recruiting vulnerable, but “legal,” refugee workers to replace them. In the spring of 2020, as COVID-19 threatened to halt meatpacking, two separate executive orders designated meatpacking production as essential to the United States food system and introduced new restrictions on refugee resettlement in the United States. Bridging Marxian literature on race, labor, and capitalism and critical refugee studies, this paper examines the paradox of refugees’ positioning as both “essential” sources of vulnerable labor and “prohibited” threats to the American nation-state. We argue that the placement of refugees in meatpacking jobs is actually the primitive accumulation of unfree labor. In the case of “essential” meatpacking work in the United States, racial capitalism articulates with conditions of statelessness and unequal citizenship rights to anchor “prohibited” refugees to meatpacking work.
