Abstract
This thesis concerns about the undocumented female immigrants from China who engaged in sex work after entering Taiwan and their experiences of crossing border and life in Taiwan. In the social and economical context of globalization and the frequent interactions between China and Taiwan, crossing border of these undocumented female immigrants exposed the invalidity, contradictions and difficulties of Taiwan border control within the reality of sovereignty problems. However, border control truly affected these women after entering sex work in Taiwan. While crossing the border, because of their 「illegality」,they are more vulnerable to be exploited.
Nowadays, the actions of crossing borders of undocumented immigrants uncovered that the border and the border control persisted by nation states are just a invalid, contradictory and unjust structure. The China undocumented female immigrants highlights this unjust structure. We should take it seriously of their desires to flow and the agency they show through this process, and the legitimacy of their flow should also be admitted.
