The approach to the regulation of migratory flows proposed by the European Union and the governments of the member states — characterized by EU borders externalisation, reduction of regular entrance mechanisms and struggle against irregular migration — turns out as incomplete and unilateral as well as insufficient and wrong. Borders control at any cost has led to the abandonment of criteria of transparency, legality and humanity of measures put into action in favour of a supposed efficacy, and also to the violation of migrants' human rights. In this context during the last legislature Spain has further strengthened its immigration control policies therefore worsening the situation of juridical apartheid and violation of the socio-economic rights that are victimizing the migrants.
