Au Québec, l’ensemble des acteurs concernés par la conception, le financement et la mise en oeuvre des politiques de la jeunesse semblent s’accorder sur une chose : l’objectif à viser est la « continuité des services », c’est-à-dire la complémentarité des programmes, qui permettrait au jeune, en fonction de l’évolution de ses besoins, d’entrer dans l’un de ces derniers sans se retrouver dans un « vide de droits ». Dans un contexte de pénurie de ressources financières et de compétition accrue entre les organismes d’accompagnement, l’article se propose de porter un éclairage sur les enjeux du processus de ciblage des populations à travers le cas des jeunes immigrants. Nous présenterons dans un premier temps le contexte institutionnel, pour ensuite mettre en exergue le rôle des professionnels de l’employabilité, dont les pratiques sont tiraillées entre les objectifs à atteindre et les cas spécifiques des usagers.In Quebec, the various players involved in the design, funding and implementation of youth policies seem to agree on one thing : the key objective must be “continuity of services,” i.e., ensuring that programs complement one another so that young people, as their needs change, can enter one of them without running the risk of finding themselves in a “rights vacuum.” In a context of a lack of financial resources and increased competition among support organizations, this paper seeks to shed light on the issues involved in targeting certain populations, based on the case of young immigrants. We begin by presenting the institutional context and then examine the role of job-readiness professionals, who in practice find themselves torn between the objectives that have been set and the specific cases of individual users

This paper addresses the ongoing ‘European Migrant Crisis’ by, first, discussing the return of internal borders within the European Union as zones for controlling and sorting migrants, and then both internal and external borders as areas in which policing and national policy choices deeply challenge international law, which was designed to protect all human beings regardless of their country of departure. The primary argument developed here is that some EU countries neglect to abide by the European and international regulations on migration, asylum seekers, and human rights, with unprecedented consequences. Border policies are presented here as paradoxical governmental tools, which are not applied equally and uniformly. The main consequence is the growing gap between rights guaranteed under the law and their selective application within a border management where the state of exception is increasingly visible.
