Una forma de identificar las caracterfsticas que, segiin las autoridades y la ley, el ciudadano ideal debe de tener es estudiar casos de inmigraci6n en corte.Por medio de observar la preparation de tales casos, entrevistar a abogados y solicitantes, y asistir a audiencias en la corte federal de inmigracion en Los Angeles, se analiza estas caracterfsticas.La investigation se enfoca en los casos conocidos como "suspension de deportation".Para ganar, el solicitante tiene que haber vivido en los Estados Unidos por siete anos, mostrar buen caracter moral y probar que deportation causarfa un dafio extremo al aplicante o a un pariente del aplicante.El analisis indica que, aunque no se menciona la raza ni la etnicidad del solicitante, las caracterfsticas preferidas se basan en la cultura anglosajona, lo cual promueve un modelo anglosajon del cuidadano ideal.Por eso, aiin cuando se ganan los casos, la ley impone requisitos que perjudican a ciertos sectores de la poblacion.The migrations through which globalization is realized produce what might be termed variegated national populations (see Inda 2000;Perry 2000).In contrast to the model of national membership in which territories and citizenries coincide (Gupta and Ferguson 1992;Malkki 1992), countries like the United States are now made up of populations whose legal statuses and national affiliations are diverse.Not only are many U.S. residents nationals of other countries, in addition, individuals experience different degrees of inclusion in the national polity.Undocumented immigrants may lack legal statuses but live in many ways like other residents (Coutin 2000); those with temporary authorization (such as pending asylum applications) may have to live with an eye toward two possible futures (Schiller et al. 1995); legal permanent residents share many of the rights accorded to U.S. citizens 1 but formally owe allegiance to other nations; and even full legal citizens may be marginalized due to their gender, ethnicity, social class, or sexual orientation. 2Belonging is clearly multidimensional.Such internal differentiation creates grounds through which long-time residents who are formally excluded from the United States can stake claims
