A disagreement with David Miller critique of an expansive set of immigrant rights, this presentation offers a counter-perspective in light of the reality of 鈥渃rimmigration,鈥� the increasing conflation of criminal and immigration law, a phenomenon which gives rise to some very troubling rights violations when it comes to immigration enforcement. In general, this talk explores the ethical question of immigration enforcement and argues for why an expansive set of immigrant rights is needed.
