ROSAS, Carolina  and  GIL ARAUJO, Sandra. Gendered migration and borders control regime. The production of expulsability in Argentina. Estud. front [online]. 2022, vol.23, e104.  Epub Oct 03, 2022. ISSN 2395-9134.  https://doi.org/10.21670/ref.2220104.

This article corresponds to the critical studies on the immigration and border control regime and contributes to the knowledge that this regime acquires in the South American region, specifically in Argentina. It focuses on the dimension of expulsability, which refers to the legal and administrative tools that make possible the legal production of migratory illegality. The objective is to analyze, from a gender perspective, the statistical evolution of three state tools between 2010 and 2020: denial of entry, residence cancellations and administrative expulsion orders. The normative context is also analyzed, and specialized literature is reviewed. This study suggests that, as in the countries of the global north, in Argentina the production of expulsability is masculinized. It is essential to attend to the gendered migration control, incorporating an intersectional and situated perspective, which considers the differential effects on men, women and other gender identities.

Keywords : migration control; expulsability; gender; Argentina.
