摘要这项定性研究探讨了无证移民青年如何驾驭不明确或界限明确的法律地位。通过关注儿童抵达暂缓行动(DACA)的案例，我建立在有限合法性概念的基础上，以促进我们对从“非法”过渡到准合法如何塑造社会包容的理解。使用改进的扎根理论方法，我分析了南卡罗来纳州39名DACA接受者的深度访谈数据。在完成开放和重点编码的同时，使用了不断比较的方法，并采取了多个步骤来支持研究的可信度。我展示了有限的合法性如何给年轻人带来双重束缚，因为DACA同时传达了两个不同和相互矛盾的信息。我认为，这是一种法律暴力形式：受益人被赋予了社会包容的希望，但却没有完全实现这一希望的可能性。
ABSTRACT This qualitative study explores how undocumented immigrant youth navigate the uncertainty of an ambiguous, or liminal, legal status. By focusing on the case of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), I build on the concept of liminal legality to advance our understanding of how transitioning from “illegal” to quasi-legal shapes social inclusion. Using a modified grounded theory approach, I analyse data from in-depth interviews with 39 DACA recipients in the state of South Carolina. A constant comparative approach is used while completing open and focused coding, and multiple steps are taken to support the trustworthiness of the study. I show how liminal legality presents a double bind for youth because DACA communicates two different and contradictory messages simultaneously. I argue that this is a form of legal violence: beneficiaries are given the hope of social inclusion without the possibility of fully attaining it.
