The in-migration of refugees and immigrants, both
legal and illegal, has reemerged as a potent
socio-political issue in the United States. This has
created a moral panic about "foreigners" who are
said, in an old but still effective rhetoric, to be
feeding rising crime rates, filling the public
schools with non-English speakers, going on
"welfare," and in other ways staining and darkening
everyday life in small towns and cities. This is a
longtime concern discussed in a substantial social
science literature on refugees and immigrants. This
literature was reviewed and used to frame an
interpretive study to learn what it is like to be a
foreign young woman in a Midwestern metropolitan
area. A hermeneutic phenomenological study was done
on the everyday lived-experiences of four
foreign-born young women to describe and understand
their experiences of being "foreign(ers)" and their
meanings. Being "foreign" as lived and told by each
woman is shown in their lives - in their bodies; in
how they live and experience time, space, and
relationships; in how they are in their human
fullness. "Foreignness" is shown to be spatial -
socially, culturally, economically, politically, and
personally.
