A variety of control technologies have been implemented to sort, select and exclude border crossers. Migrants who violate the rules of immigration are discursively framed as criminals by politicians and the media. This paper examines the growing trend towards crimmigration in Canada \u2013 the intertwining of immigration law with criminal law. Drawing on recent policy reforms, such as Bill C-43, as examples of this trend, Chan argues that the contemporary treatment of \u2018undesirable\u2019 non-citizens is rooted in a politics of exclusion and inequality of treatment spurred on by growing suspicions and resentment towards immigrants and refugees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Wendy Chan<\/b> has published in the areas of gender and mental health, immigration, race, racialization and the justice system, and on welfare fraud and poverty in Canada.
