TARGETING IMMIGRANTS: GOVERNMENT, TECHNOLOGY, AND ETHICS By Jonathan Xavier Inda

Targeting Immigrants: Government, Technology, and Ethics is a 2006 book by anthropologist Jonathan Xavier Inda that examines how "illegal" immigrants have become targets of government policy and control since the 1965 U.S. Immigration Act. The book analyzes the creation of knowledge about immigration, the ethical problems constructed around it, and the tactics used to govern it, particularly at the U.S.-Mexico border, using Foucauldian theories of governmentality and ethnographic methods.
