Abstract
States tend to be concerned about self-dei nition, and immigration law
arose as one attempt to mark out territory by establishing a regulatory
system which dei ned who could enter, remain and be removed (with nationality and citizenship laws addressing membership). h e risk with migration law, however, is the governmental temptation to nurture a continuing form of communal insecurity by constructing ‘ others’ as a threat. 1 Governments have given into this urge all too ot en, and the application of migration law ot en says as much about national communities as it does about those seeking to enter or remain.
