Angela S. García compares restrictive and accommodating immigration measures in various cities and states to show that place-based inclusion and exclusion unfold in seemingly contradictory ways. Instead of fleeing restrictive localities, undocumented Mexicans react by presenting themselves as "legal,? masking the stigma of illegality to avoid local police and federal immigration enforcement. Restrictive laws coerce assimilation, because as legal passing becomes habitual and embodied, immigrants distance themselves from their ethnic and cultural identities. In accommodating destinations, undocumented Mexicans experience a localized sense of stability and membership that is simultaneously undercut by the threat of federal immigration enforcement and complex street-level tensions with local police. Combining social theory on immigration and race as well as place and law,Legal Passinguncovers the everyday failures and long-term human consequences of contemporary immigration laws in the US.

Legal Passing offers a nuanced look at how the lives of undocumented Mexicans living in the U.S. are constantly shaped by federal, state, and local immigration measures. Angela S. García compares restrictive and accommodating immigration laws in various cities and states and argues that restrictive laws paradoxically drive greater integration and incorporation into the community. By taking on characteristics associated with mainstream Americans, undocumented Mexicans mask the stigma of illegality and present themselves (through dress, speech, and other habits) as “legal” to the point where it becomes habitual and internalized, contributing to their acculturation. Rather than fully obstructing the path to adaptation, restrictive subnational laws unwittingly motivate it. Combining social theory on race and immigration as well as place and law, Legal Passing uncovers the everyday failures and long-term human consequences of anti-immigrant legislation.
