(Show more) Rather than a dichotomous status, migrant illegality is a continuum along which the positions of groups and individuals may vary. In most Western countries undocumented migrants are invited to make themselves “less illegal,” either in the hope of legalization, as a means of avoiding arrest, or as a strategy to prevent deportation. Legal deservingness may be reached either through being recognized as particularly vulnerable, or through showing one is a good and productive citizen in spite of illegal status. Our paper examines tensions within and between these two routes at the level of policy frames and individual strategies. Taking key examples from Spain, France, and the United States, we focus on the particular role of employment in the contemporary moral economy of migrant illegality.

In particular, it analyses the relationship between precarious forms of employment and the ability to achieve and maintain a legal status, exploring both employment as a condition for legality and as conditioned by legal status before and after regularisation.

Sieglinde Rosenberger, Carla Küffner : Precarious Membership Rights of Un-deported Migrants In 1990s the term deportation turn was coined to describe the routinized instrument of massive removals of foreign nationals. A decade later, scholars have been dealing with a deportation gap, that is the numerical difference between people eligible for deportation and people a state actually removes. The non-implementation of deportation ... (Show more) In 1990s the term deportation turn was coined to describe the routinized instrument of massive removals of foreign nationals. A decade later, scholars have been dealing with a deportation gap, that is the numerical difference between people eligible for deportation and people a state actually removes. The non-implementation of deportation orders produces the category of un-deported migrants. In this regard, the paper will discuss political, societal and individual factors hampering the implementation of deportations and, consequently, it will assess the modes of precarious membership rights which are attributed to this group of un-deported migrants. The focus will be put on residential and social rights. (Show less)
