The development of Greek migration policy and the invention of “para-legality” in labour relations of immigrants
Abstract
The management of the upsurge in migratory flows since 2015 and in particular the irregular entry and residence of thousands of newcomers in Greecepose significant challenges for national migration policy. The long course of legislative interventions to regulate irregular immigration into the country has recently introduced a new station, the concept of para-legality. This is the legislative recognition of a new category of immigrants in the midst of the standardization of the theory so far, based on a special version of the legality of residence. The formalities of the new arrangements, on the one hand, are part of the revival of a traditional work-based approach to immigration policy and, on the other hand, they reaffirm the state choice of discrimination in the labour market to the detriment of migrant workers based on an axis of subjective characteristics.
