INTRODUCTION, AIMS, OBJECTIVES AND DEFINITIONS
The issue of irregular migration has given rise to intense political debates in world especially in Europe in recent years. I have chosen to analyse Irregular Migration in Sweden as a topic, where the essay will focus on irregular immigrants in Malmö (as a city in Sweden) as my case study in order to maintain a narrow focus. Focus on Malmö as a city in Sweden is to have adequate information needed for my research because this study will focus most especially on third-country nationals. Malmö being the third largest city by population in Sweden with population of more than ‘three hundred thousand’ inhabitants from more than one hundred and seventy-seven countries (where they speak more than seventy-seven languages) and also a place where most immigrants resided. To narrow my focus, irregular migration will be refers to movement from outside the European Union by people who are not nationals of European Member State, because the European Union and Schengen rules allowed EU and EEA to move freely from one states to another without restriction. Furthermore, the key point to focus on in the thesis is irregular migrants of third-country nationals (non-EU) where most countries who are not nationals of EU member states fall to the categories. As we all know that the prevailing image for most people in western world especially Europe when the term irregular immigration is mentioned may well mean the movement of people from outside the European Union by third-country nationals (Christiana & Andrew 2011: 2) (Malmö Stad) (IOM 2008:2)
In addition, the term Irregular migration can described in this research as crossing borders without proper authority, or violating conditions for entering another o...

...ation, including family and refugee migration. These economic and networks factors were the necessary conditions for continued migration especially irregular migration (Michael 2008: 55-56) (James 2008: 194-196).
In sum, in my essay, international migration can be seen as a function of ‘economic forces’ (demand- pull and supply-push) and social networks’. Methodology of economic (neo-classical and social network theories) will be used to address questions “who moves? Why do some human beings get up and shift residence? Why and how they become irregular immigrants in the receiving countries? Then, ‘how they (illegal migrants) survive in term of accommodation, feeding, shelter etc. (without having social security number (personal number)), with all the migration policy, rules and regulation put in place by the receiving countries with their illegal status.

    Immigration and crime can often time combine due to the laws that are continuously created. The membership theory presented by Juliet Stumpf in chapter 2 of Governing Immigration Through Crime. Membership theory proposes that a person’s rights and privileges are only obtainable to those who are a part of a social contract with the government (Dowling & Inda, 2013, p. 60). It is believed that positive actions can occur when this takes place. Now, the membership theory uses two tools of the sovereign state for this to be achieved: the power to punish and the power to express moral condemnation (Dowling & Inda,2013, p. 60). When applying this belief to immigration law, legal and illegal have stringent explanations between them. As stated

  • Synthesis Essay on Indocumented Immigrants in the US

    Considering the ideas that both authors have brought to the table, I have concluded that in order to make progress in solving the problem of undocumented immigrants, we as a country must decide what’s best for our country. We either look at undocumented immigrants as an asset or a parasite. America is the ‘land of opportunity’ where millions of people want to live there and pursue the ‘American Dream’. We should not let people stop from achieving their dreams. But on the other hand, a quantity of immigrants leave their country because it does not have “stable democracies and free markets” that “ensure economic growth, rising standards of living and thus, lots of jobs”, because the countries of these immigrants “birth rates and native populations fall”.

Immigration is the movement from one location to another to live there permanently.
