Flexible transnational citizenship is enjoyed by few while many are excluded

Evidence

Not all migrants suffer these extremes, however. The trends identified by some commentators towards globalization of labor and the emergence of transnational citizenship are real enough. It is also clear, however, that for everyone who can claim to enjoy global or flexible citizenships (Ong, 1999), there are many more who are shut out from every aspect of citizenship, local and global (Goldberg, 2001). These different forms of exclusion emanate from the restrictions of the nation-state. They stunt the development and impede the advancement of sizeable population groups within societies. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 140 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
