In its most primordial sense, listening is a form of social recognition.Drawing on this idea, this article reflects on sound, hearing, and the symbolic practices at the core of anti-immigration policies that reinforce silence toward and by immigrant communities. This article focuses on the Haitian community in Tapachula, Mexico, a city where refugees are forced to wait. It explores the categories of silence, noise, and racial beliefs about these immigrants -as well as the myriad feelings associated with them- on the part of institutional actors and humanitarian organizations
