description Senator Barack Obama played a key role in supporting bipartisan efforts led by Senators John McCain and Edward Kennedy to legislate "comprehensive immigration reform." This new legislation calls for augmenting border security, enforcing employer sanctions for firms that hire "undocumented workers," and creating a path to "earned" citizenship for workers already in the United States. The authors argue that Senator Obama uses a "both . . . and" rather than an "either . . . or" approach to immigration that seeks to shift the terms of the debate. In this article, the authors chart Senator Obama's stance on immigration in relation to conservative and liberal positions. By doing so, they explore how Obama's constructed understanding of "earned" citizenship stands in sharp contrast to ultraconservatives' essentialized notion of "patriotic" citizenship.
