“…As governments create opportunities and impose barriers to irregular migrants, state policies shape their window of opportunity and their room for manoeuvre. In addition, policies may also affect the choices that irregular migrants make within this window of opportunity (Cyrus and Vogel 2006;Hollifield 2004). Furthermore, the room for manoeuvre that policies create extends beyond the boundaries of the receiving nation-state: policies also affect irregular migrants' transnational interactions (Waldinger and Fitzgerald 2004).…”

“…In Europe the intensification of internal migration controls has been noted by scholars, particularly subsequent to the Schengen Agreement and the diminishment of external borders at national boundaries. In Germany every public agency must report information about irregular migrants to the foreigners' office, which is required to commence an expulsion process (Cyrus and Vogel 2006). In 2001 the Netherlands changed its Aliens Law, subsequently allowing police to stop and detain persons to examine their residence status, which have they have been able to check since the 1990s on a national database, provided there a 'reasonable presumption' that they had irregular status (Leerkes, Varsanyi and Engbersen2012).…”

If your institution does not have a copy or an order for a copy of the above work this can be placed here http://eu.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-1118701429.html Recent decades have witnessed two contradictions in global mobility. Hypermobile flows of capital and goods cascading around the globe, facilitated by an increasingly hegemonic neoliberal economic model and an accompanying web of trade agreements, are concurrent with increasingly restricted mobility of persons-at least those emergent from the global South (Bauman 1998). The construction through law, technology, fortification and intensified policing of the 'wall around the West' (Andreas & Snyder 2000) has resulted in a massive production of 'illegal aliens' in the global North (Fassin 2011, p. 214). As the potential pathways for those seeking to escape economic deprivation or political and social persecution in the global South have been progressively barricaded, so too have such movements been progressively criminalized. The fabrication of the 'wall around the West' has witnessed the emergence of a substantial border control apparatus, often technologically mediated and buttressed by punitive legal developments, that is itself criminogenic and instrumental in the construction of 'deviant' migrant identities. Border control has also been loosened from its moorings, no longer a distinct geographical line but deterritorialized (Walters 2006) so that now it is possible to speak of 'ubiquitous borders' (Wilson & Weber 2008) that may be enacted before, at and after the physical borderline at a variety of switch points and by a multiplicity of agents. The exclusion and construction of deviant migrant identities is intertwined with two other notable developments. One is the weakening of the nation-state form, and there is a significant scholarship which interprets intensifying border control and practices of exclusion in terms of 'performances' of sovereignty. This is an argument that suggests that under conditions of neoliberal globalization, states with diminished control of economic and social questions within their boundaries increasingly turn to border security and migration control as key 'performances' asserting their continued relevance and strength (Wilson and Weber 2008;

“…At the basis of this perceived threat lie social myths and stereotypical images of irregular migrants as criminals (Coutin 2005b), welfare abusers or a source of unfair job competition (Broeders & Engbersen 2007;Devillé 2008;Eaton 1998). Research has indicated that few irregular migrants engage in criminal acts (Leerkes 2009;Van Meeteren et al 2008) and few use welfare provisions (Cyrus & Vogel 2006;Düvell 2006c;Hondagneu-Sotelo 1994;Van der Leun 2003a;Van Meeteren et al 2008). Moreover, the labour that irregular migrants provide is generally complementary instead of substitutional (Jordan & Düvell 2002;Samers 2005;Venturini 1998).…”

“…Hagan (1994) has shown that although ethnic community networks can be beneficial in the initial phase of settlement, they tend to lock migrants in and restrict opportunities of social mobility in the long run, as migrants do not develop resources outside these networks. Others also emphasise the importance of contacts beyond the own community (see, e.g., Cyrus & Vogel 2006;Psimmenos & Kassimati 2006). Cross-community contacts are considered the most likely suppliers of upward social mobility.…”
