Abstract
Irregular migration is an important issue in contemporary societies. This article explores the changing position of irregular migrants from two angles. First, we analyse the impact of irregular migration on conceptions of rights and citizenship. This is of particular interest at a time when even the rights of ‘regular’ migrants are subject to much debate and analysis. Second, we analyse the role of mobilisations by irregular migrants and their supporters. We discuss scholarly debates about how to understand such mobilisations, as well as drawing on specific examples from France and the UK. We argue that the analysis of the claims that underpin irregular migrants' mobilisations should offer more space to their voices instead of those of their supporters. In so doing, we stress the importance of their everyday struggle for existence rather than for citizenship and human rights.
