The jurisdictional games of immigration policing: Barcelona’s fight against unauthorized street vending

Abstract: The article maps out the multilayered legal governance of immigrant street vendors in Barcelona. The case study is used to develop the literature on crimmigration by suggesting better ways to account for the dynamic, asymmetric, and uneven legal intersections at play in immigration governance. Questioning the idea of a merger between immigration law and criminal law that scholars of crimmigration often imply, the article suggests that it is the heterogeneity and distinction between various legal regimes that i… Show more

“…By drawing from the work of Wonders (2008Wonders ( , 2016 on the flexibilization of state power which interlinks with Mofette's (2018) and Valverde's (2009) work on jurisdiction and interlegality as well as with the ideas around conscious incompleteness of agreements and regulation (see Jones et al, 2016;Scipioni, 2018), the article will argue that member states as well as enforcement agencies have been consciously using the interplay between the normative regime on the European level and the normative regime, implementation and execution thereof on the national and local level. By using the discretionary space in rules and regulations to the best advantage of their unique interests, the different national and local actors involved in intra-Schengen cross-border monitoring all seem to be involved in a complicated border game evolving around the demarcation of boundaries: the actual creation of boundaries to keep out the "crimmigrant" other and to preserve cultural homogeneity, but also the less visible process of sometimes actively creating and sometimes actively crossing boundaries between different jurisdictions and legal mandates.…”

“…Dans l'objectif de présenter un état des lieux relativement complet de ces dynamiques dans le contexte canadien actuel, nous avons insisté sur les interactions formelles entre le droit de l'immigration et le droit criminel ainsi que sur les politiques officielles. Pour chacun des points de rencontre, cependant, nous avons aussi soutenu qu'il importe de développer des recherches empiriques qui puissent documenter les expériences vécues et mettre à jour les bricolages pratiques et jeux de juridictions (Moffette, 2016(Moffette, , 2018 des acteurs impliqués dans le contrôle, la répression et la régulation sociojuridique de l'immigration et des migrants.…”

“…Or, cette thèse, qui met l'accent sur une convergence très forte, peut aussi limiter notre capacité à décrire comment les différents régimes juridiques sont mobilisés en pratique. En effet, ce n'est pas tant la ressemblance ou la convergence entre les deux types de droit qui pose problème et qui a un impact négatif sur les personnes visées ; c'est plutôt la distinction entre ces régimes qui permet à différents acteurs de mobiliser tantôt des éléments du droit pénal et tantôt des éléments du droit de l'immigration pour intervenir sur le social (Moffette, 2018). Pour cette raison, Legomsky (2007) insiste sur l'importance de décrire non pas une convergence totale, mais plutôt une « incorporation asymétrique » de certaines normes et pratiques pénales dans le droit de l'immigration.…”
