Irregular Migratory Movements and the National Security Strategy 2013

Abstract

Irregular migration flows are a source of concern among governments and citizens of the European Union. The National Security Strategy in its chapter dealing with risks and threats to national security, notes that "irregular" migration flows constitute a real challenge that even affects "undocumented" immigrants themselves. The aim of the National Security Strategy is the prevention, control and management of migration flows arriving to our borders, which are also "borders of the European Union." Nevertheless, the approaches are reactive and carried out in a nationalist framework.
