This paper explores how Indonesian undocumented migrants in an East Coast city of the United States experience and express their ``illegality`` due to their unauthorized or not-yet-authorized movement. More specifically, it explores ``illegality`` as a phenomenological mode of ``being-in-the world,`` by focusing on Indonesian migrants` embodied and subjective daily experiences. My analysis of the Indonesian migrants` daily experiences of ``illegality`` reveals how their macro-level legal and social conditions intersect with their individual and micro-level daily lives through their embodied and subjective experiences. Against the backdrop of the dominant discourses in the United States that racially ``other`` and ``criminalize`` undocumented migrant workers, the Indonesian migrants experience their unwelcomed presence in the host country through 1) their racial differences and health concerns, 2) subjective experiences of divided space between ``dangerous`` and ``safe`` places, 3) experiences of timely borders and limits set by the host country. Of particular interest are the roles of religion and religious discourses in mediating between the lived-experience of ``illegality`` and their new identities in the host country. By examining two testimonies narrated by Indonesian Catholics during their charismatic prayer sessions, this paper argues that their lived-experiences of ``illegality`` are discursively constructed through unexpected encounters between "I" and authoritative "others" who embody the authoritative institution of the host country. Yet at the same time their language of religion and faith describes the migrants` fear and anxiety as being overcome by their belief in God and His protection. Therefore, their unwelcomed presence in the new land as unauthorized guest workers is translated into a journey that God plans according to His unknown intentions. In this way, the experience of ``illegality`` reveals the migrants` being "citizens of heaven," a member of an imagined spiritual community. In this process, the very experience of ``illegality`` in turn provides a symbolic resource by which the Indonesian migrants actively construct and make sense of their new life in the host country.
