“…Una línea de trabajo cada vez más extendida en el estudio de las migraciones irregulares incide en la necesidad de cuestionar el tratamiento de la migración irregular como un hecho dado, como una realidad independiente y ajena del Estado receptor (entre otros : Calavita, 1998: Calavita, , 2005Coutin, 2000;Dauvergne, 2008;De Genova, 2002;Garcés Mascareñas, 2010;Goldring et al, 2007;Izquierdo, 1996;Jabardo, 1995;Ngai, 2004;Solanes Corella, 2003). Desde esta perspectiva se subraya la relevancia de los procesos mediante los que ciertas formas de entrada o residencia son catalogadas y categorizadas como irregulares.…”

“…Más allá del contexto español, en la última década se han multiplicado los estudios que se han interesado por analizar los factores que intervienen en la diferenciación de la migración irregular de la regular (entre otros: Clandestino Research Project, 2009;Goldring et al, 2007;Nevins, 2002). Las investigaciones de Susan Coutin se han centrado en el estudio de los migrantes salvadoreños en Estados Unidos planteando cómo la ley oficial de inmigración ha relegado a estos migrantes a una inexistencia legal que es producida a través de la exclusión, la limitación de derechos, la restricción en el acceso a servicios y el desmantelamiento de la personalidad legal (Coutin, 2000: 28).…”

“…These studies address the legal borders and institutional boundaries which fundamentally shape people's lack of access to formal social security mechanisms, as well as how people negotiate access to protection mechanisms through concrete interactions and with regard to barriers to community engagement, such as a lack of important informal networks (cf. Goldring, Berinstein, and Bernhard 2009;Avato, Koettl, and Sabates-Wheeler 2010, 455;Sabates-Wheeler and Koettl 2010;Hayes and Mason 2011, 1). What is missing from this approach, however, is an examination of how these new situations of social protection affect mobile people's agency.…”

The intersection of social protection and mobilities: a move towards a ‘Practical Utopia’ research agenda

Currently, a number of contributions in mobility studies are looking for fruitful intersections with other 'adjacent' approaches . In this spirit, our theoretical paper argues to study one particular aspect: the intersection of social protection and mobilities. Currently, the provision of social services in the 'West' is strongly entrenched within nation-state logics, which assume that clients' immobility is a precondition of service delivery and that national citizenship is the desirable conditionality of gaining social rights. To overcome such a wide-spread conflation of social security with state security, we introduce the heuristic concept 'social protection' . It allows social security to be imagined beyond a state-centric perspective and avoids the pitfalls of either a citizenship or a migration approach by taking on a mobility perspective. Thus, for scholars anchored in mobility studies we propose how to develop a social security perspective in a progressive way. For readers from other areas, e.g. citizenship, migration or social policy, we will show how a mobility perspective enriched by a No Border approach can overcome a narrow Western, statist and static perspective on social security. Our goal is to conceptually open up what we call a 'practical utopia' research agenda, one that expands our political horizons for future and present socialities.

“…The employment of migrant workers is restricted to sectors where the domestic labour force is not willing to work due to the dangerous nature and harsh conditions of the work, as well as the dismal remuneration packages offered, as in the Canadian agricultural sector (Preibisch, 2007). Temporary migrant workers, who fill this labour gap, are confronted with glaring forms of discrimination ranging from differential pay structure to limited access to health and social services (Preibisch, 2007;Goldring, Berinstein & Bernard, 2009;Hennebry, 2012). However, they have become an indispensable work force for high-income countries because the constraining and restrictive nature of their temporary contractual work serves capitalist interests (Sharma, 2006;Walia, 2010).…”

There is limited in-depth research focusing on how the state exerts its power and influence through immigration laws, policies and practices in structuring the relations of labour and capital in a manner that reflects capitalist interests. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to explore the role of the state in fostering capitalist accumulation, using the Seasonal Agricultural Worker Program (SAWP) as a case study, and to consider the policy implications of this program. This paper addresses the following questions: What shapes and reproduces labour-capital relations with reference to SAWP? What are the repercussions of these relations, particularly on the international migrant workers? What should be the role of the state and law in transforming these relations? The paper draws on a constellation of insights from neoliberal globalization, segmentation of labour theory, and a conceptual overview of the role of the state in regulating labour-capital relations to illuminate the discussions. This paper helps broaden our current understanding of how the state facilitates capitalist accumulation in the agricultural sector in Canada through immigration policies and practices with reference to the SAWP. The paper therefore makes a contribution to the theoretical debates on the role of the state in the facilitation of capitalist accumulation in agriculture.
