Goodman at the University of California, San Diego. Goodman, who is the author of\u00a0<em>Threat Multiplier: Climate, Military, and the Fight for Global Security,<\/em>\u00a0was invited by the UC Institute for Global Conflict and Cooperations to present on her book, her time working as the Pentagon\u2019s first Chief Environmental Officer, and the relationship between climate change and national security.\u00a0\u00a0More specifically, she was invited to unpack how\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ucigcc.org\/events\/climate-change-security-and-democracy-a-conversation-with-sherri-goodman\/\">\u201cthe U.S. military is confronting the biggest security risk in global history; climate change.\u201d<\/a>\u00a0At that moment in time, Joe Biden was still the President of the United States, mentions of climate change had not yet been scrubbed from government websites, and outright climate denialism was still not on the presidential agenda. Making my way down the Californian coast the day before the 2024 election, I was anxiously hopeful that this would remain the case for the next four years.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I was less hopeful, however, about the current and future state of immigration policy in the United States. In the weeks prior to Election Day, the Democratic Presidential Candidate, Kamala Harris, was campaigning on \u201csecuring the border,\u201d and emphasizing her past career as a prosecutor to convince the American public that she would be the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/7009647\/harris-border-immigration\/\">right person to tackle concerns regarding border security<\/a>. In doing so, she\u00a0\u00a0promised she would bring back\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ap.org\/news-highlights\/elections\/2024\/where-trump-and-harris-stand-on-immigration-and-border-security\/\">a bipartisan bill<\/a>\u00a0to hire more border patrol personnel, immigration judges, and asylum officers. Her promises were intensifications of already-existing immigration restrictions. In June of 2024, then-President Joe Biden\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2024\/06\/04\/nx-s1-4991917\/biden-executive-order-asylum-migration-border\">signed an executive order<\/a>\u00a0that made most migrants who crossed the US-Mexico border ineligible for asylum.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aclu.org\/press-releases\/immigrants-rights-groups-sue-biden-administration-over-new-anti-asylum-rule\">Immigrants\u2019 rights organizations argued<\/a>\u00a0that such moves not only undermined asylum law but also jeopardized the safety and wellbeing of asylum seekers. President Donald Trump\u2019s campaign upped the ante with promises of militarized mass deportations, effectively extending border policing from the actual US-Mexico border to the rest of the country. Whether Republican or Democrat, the next administration was sure to treat immigration as a national security issue. The federal government has continually increased funding directed toward border security since 9\/11,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.migrationpolicy.org\/article\/immigration-enforcement-spending-rising\">regardless of the political party in charge<\/a>. In other words, immigrant rights, one way or the other, would be on the chopping block. Still, I was anxiously hopeful that things would get better.<\/p>\n<p>Making my way down the interstate, I am reminded of the existing state of affairs. To one side of me, the low afternoon sun beams down on the Pacific Ocean, cascading it in golden, glimmering light; to the other side is San Clemente\u2019s US Customs and Border Protection station, its sandy-brown hue camouflaging it into the landscape, like a proverbial man behind a picturesque ocean curtain. The stark contrast in scenery brings into sharp relief San Diego\u2019s status as an already securitized border town. Indeed, concerns about \u201cnational security\u201d and border policing have long shaped this part of Southern California. In 1994, Operation Gatekeeper set a precedent for moving millions of dollars\u2019 worth of personnel, border wall construction, and surveillance technologies to the San Diego-Tijuana border; a reminder that the immigration policies of both the Biden and Trump administrations are not anything new, but part of a longer legacy of anti-immigrant security projects in the region.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Security as the Weather<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This fact continues to gnaw at me as I pull into one of UC San Diego\u2019s many parking garages. I have an idea of what it means for immigration to be treated as a security issue, and this makes me worry about what it would mean for climate change to also be treated as one. It makes me worry about what the future of immigration and border policy will look like in a climate crisis. As scholar Jason Cons has pointed out, \u201cspecters of environmental security increasingly haunt borders and policing practices.\u201d An image of Azusa, California on fire accompanied by the\u00a0<em>New York Times Magazine<\/em>\u00a0headline \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/interactive\/2020\/09\/15\/magazine\/climate-crisis-migration-america.html\">How Climate Migration Will Shape America: Millions will be displaced. Where will they go?<\/a>\u201d comes to mind. Some other questions worth asking: Who amongst the displaced will be able to \u201cgo?\u201d And who may be forced\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.berghahnjournals.com\/view\/journals\/environment-and-society\/14\/1\/ares140102.xml\">to remain in place<\/a>\u00a0in the name of \u201csecurity?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This essay does not provide answers to these questions. Rather, I propose them more as a way of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dukeupress.edu\/staying-with-the-trouble\">\u201cstaying with the trouble,\u201d<\/a>\u00a0to evaluate a moment where much about the future feels uncertain. I propose these questions also to resist the notion that climate migration must be viewed as part of \u201cclimate insecurity,\u201d since discussions regarding climate change and its influence on immigration come with the risk of reaffirming the already pervasive notion that\u00a0borders need securing.\u00a0To add historical complexity to conversations about climate mobility, I look to Christina Sharpe and suggest that instead of asking about security, we ask about the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thenewinquiry.com\/the-weather\/\">weather.<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0Sharpe utilizes the notion of \u201cweather\u201d to capture how \u201canti-blackness is as pervasive as climate;\u201d to illustrate how racist singularities give shape to \u201cconditions of time and place,\u201d to atmospheres, and to the histories that animate the present. Ultimately, this essay asks: what is the weather in and of an anti-immigrant climate?\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Election Eve<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Promptly after getting out of my car, I make my way through the campus buildings to meet a friend who is also attending the talk. Along the path are arrows directing the UC San Diego community to voting booths, another reminder of the political stakes of the next 24 or more hours.\u00a0Upon arriving at the auditorium in which the talk is taking place, we are greeted by two friendly faces at a check-in desk and given a pen and paper, should we choose to write down a question for the scheduled Q&amp;A. After entering, my friend and I took our seats amongst an audience of the speaker\u2019s family members, community members, professors, PhD students, and undergraduates. Like most academic talks, this one begins with acknowledgements and a summary of Goodman\u2019s long career at the Pentagon. After some time, Goodman eventually makes her way to the front of the auditorium, thanks everyone for their kind words, and begins the lecture.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the bluish-white glow of Goodman\u2019s PowerPoint, we listen intently as she chronicles the convergence of \u201cnational security\u201d with \u201cenvironmental security.\u201d She clicks through slides which characterize climate change as a \u201cthreat multiplier\u201d and after some time, she eventually arrives at a slide on migration. Migration, Goodman states, \u201cpresents a whole new set of global challenges that some of you students will be taking on as you look at migration and refugees.\u201d She also asks, \u201cHow do you preserve the sovereignty and the rights of people who have to relocate?\u201d This question, I would argue, is not only always relevant, but possibly even at odds with contemporary maintenance and imaginaries of Westphalian national boundaries. Some moments later, a map of Central and South America is on the screen, and she is detailing how military officials are currently promoting stability by understanding the climate risks of the region as well as how they may influence outmigration towards \u201cour own border.\u201d Goodman\u2019s concerns, and the many like hers, are well-founded. Climate change likely will restructure much about what we take for granted about the world. Her concerns, however, also fall into a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/17450101.2023.2279095\">broader pattern<\/a>\u00a0of producing concerns about climate change through the lens of border policing and security. Realistically, this falls in line with and is expected of the US government and its military. I was not surprised by what I learned at the talk but rather felt even more urgency to move away from climate change as a \u201csecurity\u201d issue.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>An Anti-Immigrant Climate<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>For me, and I am sure for other audience members, there was an elephant in the room: the possibility of a Trump presidential win in the day to come. And while a Trump presidency would certainly jeopardize any possibility that climate change would be taken seriously in any regard, what seemed certain was that \u201csecurity\u201d would be here to stay. In the day that followed, the elephant turned into a fact. Trump did win the 2024 presidential election. With a pit in my stomach, I thought deeply about what this would mean for \u201cpreserving the rights of people who have to relocate\u201d in our anti-immigrant climate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>On January 8<sup>th<\/sup>, I woke up to a text message from a friend. She was cancelling plans in order to stay back with her mother who lived in a potential evacuation zone outside of Altadena, California. On January 10<sup>th<\/sup>, I woke up to headlines of unannounced mass deportations in Bakersfield, California.\u00a0<a\/><a href=\"https:\/\/elpais.com\/us\/migracion\/2025-01-17\/campesinos-bajo-amenaza-una-redada-contra-decenas-de-migrantes-en-california-extiende-el-temor-a-la-era-trump.html?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">Seventy-eight people had been detained and at least fifty had been deported to Mexico.<\/a>\u00a0The Palisades and Eaton fires that ravaged a combined 37,469 acres of land throughout Los Angeles County destroyed the homes and livelihoods of thousands,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/environment\/wildfires\/2025\/01\/la-fires-workers-lost-jobs\/\">including Mexican and Central American\u00a0migrants<\/a>\u00a0who call California home, and whose mobility may be limited by current\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2025\/01\/24\/business\/trump-mass-deportations-los-angeles-fires\/index.html\">deportation measures.<\/a>\u00a0In the month\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.propublica.org\/article\/donald-trump-immigration-executive-orders\">since his inauguration<\/a>, Trump has paused the resettlement of already approved refugees, ended humanitarian parole for various Latin American immigrants, and arrested 8,200 migrants.\u00a0\u00a0The mass deportations and attack on immigrant rights, like the fires, feel like an intensified weather event, where its intensification can only be explained by the histories that structure them. Both the fires and migration seem to take on shifting meaning in this anti-immigrant climate.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Liliana Ramirez and Jeevan Toor are the section contributing editors for the Society for the Anthropology of North America.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Article begins Credit: Tannya Islas A beach in La Jolla San Diego: The Bordertown On November 4th, 2024, I made the 111-mile journey down to the beachfront community of La Jolla, California from my home in Chino Hills to attend a talk by Sherri W.
