Briefly, what is the political from an anthropological perspective? Briefly, how are state systems politically different from non-states such as bands or tribes? (See Kottak). Population control is one of the specialized political functions found in all contemporary states. In detail, using "Anthropology Today, The Illegality Industry" (Kottak 132-133), explain why "building walls" may not be an effective way to "secure" American borders. Also, include in this discussion:

1) Mackenzie's article ("On the Road Again") and the evidence that suggests that migration should not even be considered a security issue or a "crisis"; also include,

2) How the concept of "hegemony" as a form of social control might play a role in framing immigration as a "crisis" in Western nation states (See Kottak 128-129).
