难民署目前的#IBelong运动将无国籍人列为唯一被排除在外的人，强调需要对他们的状况采取法律解决办法。这样的无国籍方式既回避了生活经验的复杂性，也回避了国家承认的更广泛的政治。作为回应，本文利用马来西亚沙巴州的人种学数据，以及公民身份和无国籍之间灰色地带的理论来论证无国籍和非正规之间的基本联系。这种联系是理解潜在无国籍人的日常生活的核心，也是理解沙巴州关于无国籍的公开言论的核心，沙巴州将无国籍视为掩盖“非法移民”和“街头儿童”问题的海市蜃楼。
UNHCR's current #IBelong campaign presents stateless people as uniquely excluded, emphasizing the need for legal solutions to their situation. Such approaches to statelessness sidestep both the complexities of lived experience and the wider politics of state recognition. In response, this article utilizes ethnographic data from Sabah, Malaysia, and theorizations of the gray areas between citizenship and statelessness to argue for the fundamental connection between statelessness and irregularity. Such a connection is central to understanding both the everyday lives of potentially stateless people and Sabah's public discourse on statelessness as a mirage obscuring the problems of "illegals" and "street children."
