AB This chapter proposes to view contemporary regimes of border control as an expression of global inequality conceptualized as a hierarchy. Inequality is a driving force behind the current regime of restricted mobility for some populations, at the same time as the deeply stratified patterns of mobility further deepen existing economic and racial inequalities and bring them to the fore. The chapter suggests that more empirical and theoretical attention should be paid to the variety of ways in which citizenship status functions as a conductor of social inequality. Both legal handicaps and social privileges are grounded in citizenship status. By drawing on the concept of hierarchies of citizenship, the chapter engages in a conversation about how we can more systematically think about the connections between citizenship and inequality. It argues that contemporary systems of border enforcement are structured through two types of distinctions: a) the distinctions between citizens and non-citizens (a national or internal dimension), and b) distinctions between various categories of non-citizens (a global dimension).
