Music has been used to advocate for immigration reform by a variety of social actors in the United States since the early years of the Obama presidency. Legislators are currently in the middle of a heated immigration debate that has the potential to lead to substantial change in the country's antiquated immigration laws, directives that have not been significantly revised since the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. Meanwhile, the more than eleven million undocumented immigrants in the country are increasingly at risk of deportation. Since 2006 United States Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE) has targeted millions of undocumented immigrants for detention and deportation, including many with no prior history of legal infraction within the boundaries of the United States. Moreover, state and federal programs have increasingly required local police to carry out immigration-related duties that have been historically reserved for federal agents. This increased policing has created an environment of fear within undocumented communities. In the midst of this crisis, music is being used by a variety of social actors to argue for just immigration reform, as well as by those who would further restrict the movement and life possibilities of undocumented immigrants. Specifically, immigration-themed music has been produced in recent years by grassroots immigrant rights organizations; the U.S. government; Tea Party and other conservative activists; and African American pro-immigrant allies. The central claim of this dissertation is that these corpora of immigration-themed songs circulate tropes of love that strategically align and separate immigrants from other groups in the United States, a remapping of social space that has a profound effect on immigrants' ability to act as agents of change in the economic, social, and political spheres. Configured variously as paternalistic, familial, brotherly and/or patriotic, these invocations of love sonically configure the historical blocs that are emerging as key voices in the current immigration debate.
