"In this briefing paper we will review some of the thinking behind these policy responses and consider what they are attempting to achieve. We will ask whether the ‘enforcement agenda’ in particular really is an adequate way to tackle the issues arising from this aspect of global migration trends. In the final section we will set out the views of PICUM – an international network of civil society organisations working with undocumented migrants – and urge deeper thinking on the part of governments and policy-makers, with a view to tackling fundamental problems within the global systems of ‘managed migration’, which are the real source of irregular migration across the world."
