Menores extranjeros en riesgo de apatridia
This article focuses on the so-called “invisible migrant childhood” or “at risk of statelessness”, to refer to those children who have been born in the migratory journey of their mothers and who, due to multiple circumstances, their birth has not been officially registered in any country. This non-registration results in the practical impossibility of determining the nationality, while it also generates difficulties in accessing basic fundamental…
Changing tracks in the map of migration and asylum law
This article takes as its empirical reference the phenomenon of ‘migration in transit’, which gained relevance in 2018 with the arrival of thousands of migrants, mainly from Africa, on the southern coast of Spain, bound for other European countries. Based on a series of specific cases of irregular migrants, asylum seekers, unaccompanied minors or those at risk of statelessness involved in this phenomenon, I have attempted to trace their ‘legal ro…
When Return Orders Are More than Just a Deportation Receipt
In this article we argue that, in this specific context, the fundamental element for defining a person as a “migrant in transit” has been an administrative document (the return order) that confirms an infraction (the irregular entry) and provides for the imposition of a coercive measure (returning the migrant to the country of origin or the country from which they came). The interesting thing about the return order is that social practice transce…
Migration in transit
This article is framed in the specific migration scenario seen in recent years, in which migrants arrive at the external border of the European Union (mainly Andalusia and the Canary Islands), transit through the Spanish mainland to the border between the Spanish and French States (located in the autonomous region of the Basque Country) with the intention of continuing on to other countries in northern Europe, such as France, Belgium or Germany, …
Los Centros de Atención Temporal de extranjeros como nuevo modelo de control migratorio
En los últimos años, con el incremento de rescates y llegadas a costas europeas por vías marítimas de personas migrantes se ha producido un cambio en el modelo de contención. En el caso concreto del Estado español, si anteriormente eran los Centros de Internamiento para Extranjeros (CIE) o los Centros de Estancia Temporal para Inmigrantes (CETI) los dispositivos para la gestión de las llegadas y derivación hacia otros procedimientos de extranje…
Cuando el derecho a fugarse subvierte el neo-orientalismo
Este artículo es una investigación a través de la Teoría de los Actos de Ciudadanía que subvierten discursos y estrategias neo-orientalistas de control de la inmigración. Concretamente se centra en los procesos de resistencia de varios grupos de inmigrantes surasiáticos que fueron confinados durante años en Centros de Estancia Temporal para Inmigrantes en Ceuta y Melilla, dos enclaves fronterizos españoles (europeos) donde los derechos humanos pu…
Los turnos de abogados de extranjería en el debate de la industria de las migraciones
El objetivo de este texto es situar el papel de los turnos de oficio de extranjería en el debate de la industria del control de las migraciones, así como de la industria del rescate de las migraciones, en tanto que se enmarcan dentro de la estructura de un ente corporativo privado, pero de interés público, como son los colegios de abogacía, y son fruto de una regulación garantista del reconocimiento de una necesidad de defensa, particularmente en…
Estudio jurídico-empírico de la detención, internamiento y expulsión de extranjeros en el País Vasco
Los procedimientos de detención, internamiento y expulsión de extranjeros que acontecen en el País Vasco en el marco de la legislación de extranjería constituyen un fenómeno hasta ahora inexplorado. Existe una percepción social y académica de que este territorio, al carecer de competencias propias en materia de extranjería, es ajeno a las dinámicas estatales y globales de control de la inmigración irregular y las fronteras. Los datos y el trabajo…
The Struggle Against Deportation of Bangladeshi and Indian Immigrants at the Border Cities of Ceuta and Melilla
Several groups of Bangladeshi and Indian migrants where confined between 2005 and 2011 in temporary holding centers for immigrants in Ceuta and Melilla, two Spanish (European) border enclaves in North Africa. To prevent being deported, one day several men escaped from a holding center, known as a CETI (Centro de Estancia Temporal de Inmigrantes) and their struggle created a number of support movements not only in Ceuta and Melilla but also across…
Citizenship, identity and otherness
Spain is one of the few countries in the EU where Islam has had a historical role in the social and cultural construction of its identity. However, its modern history is marked by acts of repudiation of non-Christian cultures. Opinion polls indicate that certain groups of immigrants from North Africa, Latin America and Eastern Europe, but mainly Muslims, are considered to be incompatible with the popular conception of Spanish identity. The reason…
When rights need to be (re)claimed
Banks in Spain are receiving millions of euros of taxpayers’ money, while hundreds of home owners are being evicted. Unable to continue paying their mortgages because of unemployment or insecure employment, people are chaining themselves to their houses or other symbolic buildings; embarking on indefinite hunger strikes; and suing banks for contract abuse. In effect they are responding to the crisis by claiming and affirming their right to decent…
Scapegoat citizens in times of austerity
The economic crisis has not yet produced alarming cases of racism and social conflict in Spain. However, as we shall analyse, there are indications that ‘immigrants’ are considered one of the first populations to be disposed of in times of crisis. A preference for nationals is increasing among traditional parties, alongside the rise of political parties with anti-immigrant agendas. Unemployment rates among the foreign born population are dispropo…
Migrant struggles and legal pluralism
In January 2001, 800 undocumented immigrants (mostly from Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, Morocco and sub-Saharan Africa) staged sit-ins (encierros) at 10 churches for 47 days in the city of Barcelona. At the same time, other coordinated protests took place in other parts of Spain (Madrid, Valencia, Almeria, Murcia). The objective was clear: to resist the immigration law that discriminated, criminalized and condemned undocumented immigrants to an un…
Expanding Acts of Citizenship
This article investigates the acts of protest that occurred in the city of Barcelona and other Spanish cities in 2001 in response to imminent toughening of the Foreigners’ law 8/2000. The sit-ins, demonstrations and hunger strikes led to negotiation with the government and the government’s acceptance of some of the undocumented migrants or ‘sinpapeles’ demands for regularization of their status. At the same time, the sinpapeles also expressed a c…
El movimiento de los sin-papeles como sujeto de juridicidad
Desde un punto de vista formalista del Derecho, la producción de normas jurídicas está limitada a los poderes del Estado (legislativo, ejecutivo y judicial) así como a algunos agentes sociales legitimados por mecanismos de participación previstos en el ordenamiento jurídico. La capacidad normativa de agentes no reconocidos como sujetos de juridicidad únicamente puede ser investigada desde una perspectiva sociológica de la alternatividad del Derec…
Orientalising citizenship
The threat that immigration poses to the so-called Western democratic values is increasingly the subject of public discourses, especially regarding Muslim migrants. We could label these discourses as neo-orientalist because of their willingness to refer to the (often Muslim) migrant as a savage, uncivilized, terrorist ‘other’; in the words of Sartori, as an ‘anti-citizen’. This article reflects how citizenship, following a contemporary logic of o…
El control selectivo de las fronteras y la transnacionalización de sus resistencias
Este artículo trata un fenómeno relativamente reciente: las redes transnacionales por los derechos de los inmigrantes. Refiere a la confluencia de múltiples organizaciones (asociaciones inmigrantes, ONGs, grupos anti-globalización, sindicatos, etc.), quienes son conscientes de la necesidad de transnacionalizar sus acciones de cara a contrarrestar las políticas neoliberales de control de fronteras y provisión de mano de obra provenientes desde la …
El derecho de extranjería y su incidencia sobre el transnacionalismo migrante
El transnacionalismo, en tanto que perspectiva de estudio de nuevas formas de migrar, ha evidenciado que muchas personas migrantes mantienen vínculos estrechos y sostenidos en el tiempo con sus comunidades de origen. Muchos estudios se centran en la identificación y recuento de actividades transnacionales de los migrantes para poder diferenciar lo que es una migración transnacional de lo que no lo es. Nosotros partimos de la hipótesis de que la a…
