La lutte contre l'immigration clandestine est aujourd'hui l'une des priorités de l'Union européenne. Volet essentiel d'un projet communautaire de sécurité intérieure, le combat contre les illégaux n'en soulève pas moins d'épineuses questions. La lutte contre l'immigration illégale semble tout d'abord chimérique tant les objectifs fixés excèdent les moyens techniques, humains et financiers disponibles. Ensuite, en rendant le passage vers l'Europe de plus en plus compliqué et dangereux, cette politique provoque indirectement la mort de centaines de migrants chaque année. Elle favorise enfin le déploiement des filières criminelles de trafic et de traite des êtres humains. En bref, loin d'œuvrer à la légitimation de l'Union auprès de ses citoyens par le biais du renforcement de leur sécurité, la politique en matière d'immigration irrégulière risque d'avoir des effets contraires en jetant le doute tout à la fois sur l'efficacité des politiques européennes et sur les valeurs qui les sous-tendent. Pourquoi un projet mené au nom des principes de liberté, de sécurité et de justice ne se voit-il pas davantage remis en cause alors qu'il conduit surtout à une détérioration de la sécurité des migrants ? C'est à cette interrogation que le présent ouvrage entend donner des éléments de réponse, en partant de l'idée que la politique de lutte contre l'immigration clandestine ne peut être réduite à ses objectifs affichés mais doit être resituée dans le cadre plus large du processus d'intégration européenne. En touchant au problème du contrôle des frontières extérieures de l'Union, la lutte contre l'immigration illégale pose en effet la question des frontières symboliques qui définissent les conditions de l'appartenance à un ordre politique déterminé. Elle active des mécanismes d'inclusion et d'exclusion sans lesquels un corps politique ne peut voir le jour et se maintenir. Dans cette perspective, si la stratégie de mise à l'écart des étrangers indésirables répond aux objectifs de contrôle et de sélection des ressortissants des pays tiers autorisés à accéder au territoire des Etats membres, elle participe également à la construction d'une figure inquiétante de l'Autre fondant l'identité européenne sur la peur des clandestins.

What are the effects of internal migration controls on migrants without a regular residence permit - on "sans papiers"? The book gives an answer to this question with a comparative study of the United States and Germany. Based on expert interviews and in-depth interviews with forty sans papiers, police controls as well as controls in areas such as labor market, health care, housing, schooling and childcare are carefully analysed. The book discusses whether global economic, political or social processes have restricted the ability of advanced capitalist countries to control migration. It argues that migration policy in the OECD countries has become more similar, but this convergence only takes place at the level of policy goals and legal norms. At the level of implementation, national differences persist. The interviews show that sans papiers in the U.S. continue to have many possibilities to participate in society. In contrast, the comprehensive exclusion of sans papiers in Germany confi rms that there is no general "loss of control."

"Abuses in detention centers. Detention of handicapped children. The silencing of activists. Each week, another attack on immigrant rights comes to light.It’s going to be hard to say we didn’t know.ICE has escalated a campaign that tears apart families and ruins lives. But this didn’t begin, and won’t end, with Donald Trump in the White House. The Obama administration deported record numbers of immigrants, wildly expanded the scope and capacities of ICE, and supported detention center quotas. Voting Democrat alone won’t save these children.Immigration does not take place in a vacuum; each time the United States pushes through another exploitative trade deal or wreaks havoc on sovereign countries, we perpetuate migration flows fueled not by opportunity but by desperation. How long will we continue funding an agency premised upon the abuse and dehumanization of undocumented immigrants?We need to abolish ICE. This concise, accessible book sets out the reasons why and the way it can be brought about."- from Amazon.com

"Organized crime is not in retreat. Quite the reverse; it is spreading far and wide, and contrary to popular belief, it is much more damaging than terrorist activity. The success of any initiative to combat the wide-ranging effects of organized crime depends on a thorough understanding of its geographical, historical and political aspects. Without careful, well informed strategic planning, there is a danger that the problem will only be dealt with piecemeal; individual actors may be apprehended, but the organization as a whole will shift and mutate, never losing its criminal character. All too often, arresting only one member or branch of a criminal organization not only fails to weaken this sector, but can unwittingly strengthen it by assisting the activities of criminal competitors. This book presents the proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop: The Role of Transnational Criminal Organisations in the Management of Illegal Immigration, Human Smuggling and Trafficking in Europe, hosted by the Bulgarian Academy of Science with the aim of improving diagnosis; pooling knowledge and building a more effective strategy on the information exchanged. In this way, currently uncoordinated individual efforts, aimed at combating organized crime and human trafficking at both a national and international level, can gain momentum and be taken forward. The diverse background and geographical perspective of the authors whose work appears here throws new light on this little-studied area, and makes this book of great interest to all those involved in the trans-national struggle to identify and prevent the proliferation of the organised criminal networks"-publisher website

President Obama announced in June 2014 that he would seek ""to fix as much of our immigration system as I can on my own"" through administrative action. It seems likely that such actions will prompt heated legal debate concerning the scope of the Executive's discretionary authority over immigration matters, including with respect to the enforcement of immigration-related sanctions and the granting of immigration benefits or privileges. On November 20, 2014, President Obama announced his Immigration Accountability Executive Action which revises some U.S. immigration policies and initiates sever
