This essay analyses migration law, with a special concern for the rules designed to prevent illegal immigration and to regulate the expulsion of illegal migrants. More specifically, it examines the different offences of aiding and abetting illegal immigration - a typical example of prohibitionist migratory policies; administrative detention within detention centres for illegal migrants - a blatant case of restriction of individualliberty on grounds of a mere personal status, i.e. the condition ofbeing a migrant; and, finally, the offences related to not obeying an order of expulsion - a significant translation of political rhetoric about security into criminallaws. By analysing the different criminal and administrative rules contained in migration law, the essay describes the juridical tools by which the illegal migrant is turned into a criminal and, finally, into an enemy.
