미국의 사증 통제와 이주노동자

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

One of the myths in the age of international migration is that nation-states are losing their power and capacity in controlling the inevitable flow of international population movement. This paper challenges that myth by examining the U.S. visa control and immigrant workers in the U.S. Unlike other studies mainly focusing on immigration policies of nation-states, however, the focal point of this study is on how the U.S. exercises its power in a concrete way through the visa control. For this purpose, it will analyze the historical formation of the visa control and its mechanism of exercising power. On the other hand, it will examine the effect of the visa control on the coalition structure about immigrant workers in the U.S., focusing on the changing relationship between labor unions and immigrant workers. Finally, this paper will discuss some implications of the new state strategies of the U.S. in controlling immigration after the terrorist attack.
