Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This article foregrounds seven meanings attached to the wall on the southern border by immigrants. It is premised on 67 interviews collected during ethnographic field research conducted in 2019–2020 in Palisades Park, New Jersey, a “global neighborhood” broadly known as Koreatown. The findings of the study reveal the following meanings of the wall: 1) a defense mechanism; 2) a symbol of anti-immigrant sentiments; 3) an intensifier of unauthorized immigrants’ “otherness,” 4) a demagoguery tool, 5) an isolationist tool, 6) a mortal impediment, and 7) a symbol of immigrant perseverance. In addition, this article sheds light on “immigrant affinity,” which refers to immigrants’ tendency to relate to other immigrants’ experiences and sympathize with their ordeals due to their shared immigrant status.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
