Time and the migrant Other: European border controls and the temporal economics of illegality The rich world’s borders increasingly seem like a battleground where a new kind of ‘threat’ is fought back – the so-called ‘illegal migrant’. At Europe’s southern frontiers, sea patrols, advanced surveillance machinery and fencing keep migrants out, much like at the US, Israeli or Australian borders.

  • Migration Balance 2019
    #FronteraSur20 Migration balance 2019 Ana Rosado and Rafael Lara 1. The Marlaska effect: the number of arrivals drops by 53% compared to 2018 In January 2019, the Spanish government announced a plan to reduce the number of arrivals of people and boats to our coasts by 50%. At the time, few people thought that it would be possible to achieve this goal without addressing the root causes of migration behind the arrival of 64,120 people the previous year. These root causes included the closure of the Sicilian channel by Italian authorities in 2018, the chaos and warfare in Libya (a key transit country in the Mediterranean migratory system), as well as poverty and social conflict in countries such as Morocco, which affected thousands of young people and forced them to flee. 1 #FronteraSur20 Chart: Evolution of migrants' inflows to southern European countries The plan laid down by the Delegate Committee for Migration Affairs toward the end of 2018 did not, however, address these root causes. Instead, this plan depended on Morocco’s greater involvement in the control of migration flows – both in its mainland and maritime Search and Rescue responsibilities. In addition, the Spanish government planned to increase its immigrant detention and deportation capacity, by enhancing detention infrastructure as well as increasing resources allocated to detention, identification and deportation procedures along the Andalusian coast. At sea, the government sought to limit the actions of Salvamento Marítimo, the Spanish civil agency responsible for sea Search and Rescue operations, to the bare minimum by making the agency’s working conditions more precarious and by outsourcing some of its responsibilities to Morocco.
