      abstract = {“We all think about immigration . . . as the state asks us  to think about it and, ultimately, as it thinks about it  itself.” This aphorism of the sociologist Abdelmalek Sayad  seems to speak to lawyers and, in particular, international  lawyers who are accustomed to thinking of immigration as a  mere question of sovereignty. I contend that this  internalization of sovereignty by the legal profession is a  pure mystification. I call for acknowledging the duality of  sovereignty as a Janus with two faces. This metaphor  illuminates the ontological ambivalence of the border that  can be viewed as either a passage or a wall depending on  the viewpoint.},
