الملخص:Around 12 million unauthorized immigrants live in the United States. The present work doesn´t see the situation of undocumented immigrants in the USA as an “all-or-nothing affair”. It analyses unauthorized migration as an act of civil disobedience, and this category is given fresh significance through the study of the migrants’ struggle for inclusion.
