Description
Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Illegally Staying in the EU: An Analysis of Illegality in EU Migration Law by Benedita Menezes Queiroz
This book analyses the illegality of a third-country national’s stay by examining the boundaries of the concept of illegality at the EU level. Having found that the holistic conceptualisation of illegality falls short of adequacy the book moves on to consider situations that fall outside the traditional binary of legal and illegal under EU law. The cases of unlawfully staying EU citizens and of non-removable illegally staying third-country nationals are examples of groups of migrants who are categorised as atypical. By looking at these two examples the book reveals the fragmentation of legal statuses in EU migration law and the ill-fitting and unsatisfactory categorisation of migrants.
