Abstract
Movement is a critical aspect of humanity; however, at borders, mobility is violently restricted through laws that prioritize citizen rights over human rights. Many states have restricted immigrants from opportunities and resources, justified by claiming to be protecting their own national identity. Lack of access to citizenship has an impact on immigrants ability to integrate into a host country, the barriers immigrants face to acquire legal status prevents them from integrating successfully.
