西方国家的移民证券化导致了一系列限制性法律和政策，这些法律和政策提出了关于保护与政治之间关系的重要问题。新的控制技术（如拘留）和排斥战略（如驱逐出境）正在迅速破坏-事实上，实际上是将-国家庇护文化定为犯罪。本文批判性地分析了这些措施是如何受到质疑，并在加拿大的无证非公民的反驱逐出境活动反击。面对加拿大政府的驱逐努力，这些运动是如何重新塑造“保护”问题的？这是一个重要的问题，因为决定接纳和排斥事项的能力是主权权力的一个关键要素。在寻求庇护者的情况下，决定谁将和谁将不提供保护的能力在本文中被解释为一个焦点，其中国家（重新）建立其声称垄断政治。因此，关于谁有权保护、谁将受到保护以及在何种条款和条件下保护的争议，可以揭示新的问题以及新的政治思维和行动方式。本文运用卑鄙的世界主义的概念框架，试图了解这些运动是如何，而不是，重新制定的政治社区，身份和实践的条款。
The securitisation of migration in Western states has resulted in an array of restrictive laws and policies that raise important questions about the relationship between protection and the political. New technologies of control (such as detention) and strategies of exclusion (such as deportation) are rapidly undermining—indeed, effectively criminalising—national cultures of asylum. This article critically analyses how these measures are being contested and countered by the anti-deportation activism of undocumented non-citizen people in Canada. How are these campaigns re-casting the question of ‘protection’ in the face of deportation efforts by the Canadian state? This is a significant issue because the capacity to decide upon matters of inclusion and exclusion is a key element of sovereign power. In the case of asylum seekers, the ability to decide who will and will not be provided with protection is interpreted in this paper as a focal point where the state (re)founds its claim to monopolise the political. Consequently, disputes over who has the authority to protect, who will be protected, and under what terms and conditions, can reveal new problematisations as well as new ways of thinking and acting politically. Employing the conceptual framework of abject cosmopolitanism, this article seeks to understand how these campaigns are, and are not, reformulating the terms of political community, identity and practice.
