Producing Fraud at the Welfare‐Migration Nexus
This article interrogates the production of ‘fraud’ at the interface between welfare and migration regimes. Taking the welfare micropublic of children's social care in the UK as a case study, we focus on encounters between migrant families subject to the ‘no recourse to public funds’ immigration condition and London local authorities. Through analysis of policy documents and ethnographic data, we trace the counter‐fraud turn within the local stat…
‘We have something in common … it’s true’
This article reflects on solidarit ies as a subject and a mode of research in the context of the privatised UK asylum system. This system excludes those seeking asylum from belonging to and in the local communities to which they are dispersed. Against this background, our research explored solidarities as imagined, practiced, and (re)constituted in negotiations of migrant deservingness in the context of asylum dispersal. Inspired by ‘patchwork et…
The exceptions to child exceptionalism
Free School Meals (FSM) have been the site of renewed contestation and extensive campaigning in the last half-decade. Until recently, children in families with ‘no recourse to public funds’ because of their immigration status were excluded from accessing FSMs, despite being some of the most destitute in Britain. Through an analysis of campaign materials and interviews with advocates, we consider this dynamic policy terrain in light of the UK's ‘h…
Attacking transnationalism and citizenship
In July 2012, major changes to the family migration rules were made in the UK, severely restricting British and settled residents’ rights to sponsor non-EEA family members. However, little is known about how they have been experienced in practice, particularly by the South Asian families they target. Our article draws on policy and media analysis alongside original qualitative research to shed light on how the 2012 family migration rules have imp…
Bordering subjectivities
Questions of subjectivity are increasingly key to critical studies of migration, which highlight the production of subjectivities as one of the central functions of borders. Yet the question of how borders operate at a psychic level is rarely considered. Drawing inspiration from Gail Lewis's psychosocial approach to the racial formation of subjects and focusing on the UK asylum system, this article examines how borders shape and are navigated wit…
‘Redeeming the body’
it may be that this disinclination to use technical terms has helped me to get a better hold on what seems to have been my deepest preoccupation over the years: that is to do with one’s sense of being alive and inhabiting one’s body, what I have called one’s body presentation, as against body representations or body images, this sense of the inner dark matrix from which emerges drives to action or thoughts or emotional expression or new perceivin…
Introduction
(No) recourse to lunch
Punishing those who do the wrong thing’
In 2012, the ‘no recourse to public funds’ (NRPF) condition was extended to long-standing migrant families in the UK who had previously achieved rights to residence and welfare through human rights mechanisms. Through close examination of policy, political statements, and media coverage, we make the case that the NRPF extension was – and continues to be – intentionally subjugating and punitive, most aptly understood as a policy of enforced destit…
