Immigration has long been a controversial issue in the European Union (EU). The most of the member states of the EU are faced with the immigration challenges which are resulting from the migratory movements, but the scale, the patterns and the characteristics of migration flows vary significantly across the continent. The paper presents various links between Immigration and security, and examines the phenomenon of migration in the context of the potential influences it may pose to the European Integration and national security. The main predictors of the hypothesis show immigration is perceived as a threat in the economic, security and cultural domains in the EU as a whole. The first part of this article focuses on the concepts of non-traditional security and argues its implication in the field of migration and asylum policies; the second section discusses the securitization of migration policies in the EU, highlighting in what ways risk management strategies in this area; the third outlines regional measures undertaken at the EU level, with the aim at combating immigrants and human trafficking or smuggling; the final part concludes by highlighting in what ways that security model constitutes the main resource for securitizing migration in the EU. |
