Resumen
DURGANTE, Helen. The relationship between immigration controls and global inequality. Migr. desarro [online]. 2017, vol.15, n.28, pp.147-155. ISSN 1870-7599.
This paper aims to briefly stress some fundamental human rights violations derived from immigration control at the global level, based on immigration laws for social, economic and political control of population. In that, it emphasizes the role of neo-liberal policies to ensure the criminalization of undocumented immigrants, political strategies to increase perceptions of patriotism, exploitation of labor force as neo colonialism and finally, the disguised attempts of borderless zones (NAFTA) under the capitalistic system, presumably as an attempt to enhance mobility within member countries. Perspectives of border control are drawn as a modern powerful tool for dominance and subordination of people’s geographic movement in order to maintain elite control and, as a result, ultimate global inequality.
