This article argues for time and temporality as a critical dimension in the dialectical articulation of im/migration struggles. To make this case, the article draws on an emerging body of interdisciplinary scholarship on the temporal dimensions of im/migration and of im/migration policing. It then uses this framework to explore a host of anti‐im/migrant initiatives currently unfolding in North America under the geopolitical leadership of Donald J. Trump. Contextualizing these initiatives within a longer genealogy of im/migration and im/migration policing across the continent, the article affirms scholarly characterizations of im/migrants' desires and aspirations as a “creative force” that “structurally exceed” border controls (The contested politics of mobility: Borderzones and irregularity); but it also argues a need for greater scholarly attention to how the violence associated with im/migration policing generates nonlinear im/migration dynamics and recursive pressures on nation‐state borders and their police apparatus over the long durée. The article concludes by considering the theoretical, political, and empirical stakes of a conceptual shift in emphasis from space to time in the study of im/migration and im/migration policing, and then offers several concrete suggestions for further inquiry.

移民，治安和时间政治

本文认为时间和时间是移民/移民斗争辩证性表达中的一个关键方面。为了证明这一点，本文借鉴了新兴的跨学科学术体系，涉及移民/移民和移民/移民警务的时间维度。然后，它使用此框架探索在唐纳德·J·特朗普的地缘政治领导下目前在北美开展的一系列反移民/移民倡议。本文将这些举措与整个非洲大陆的移民/移民和移民/移民政策的长期谱系联系起来，确认了移民/移民的愿望和愿望的学术特征，是“创造性的力量”，“结构性地”超越了边境管制（有争议的政治）。流动性：边界带和违规行为）; 但是它也认为需要在学术上更多地关注与移民/移民政策相关的暴力如何在长期内对国家/地区边界及其警察机构产生非线性移民/移民动态以及递归压力。本文的结论是通过考虑在移民/移民和移民/移民政策研究中从时空转移概念的理论，政治和经验上的利害关系，然后为进一步的研究提供了一些具体的建议。
