A study of the juridical and legislative creation of the United States immigration framework premised on a concept of the nation-state as protective of the white-male of property, with a case-study of its enactment through the policies of the Trump Administration. The essay concludes with a consideration of alternative governance structures to protect the political rights of citizens/non-citizens of a political state.
