Abstract
The year 2015 brought record numbers of people into the European Union via the Mediterranean Sea – and people who lost their lives during that passage. This dramatic swell in the numbers of refugees has revived debates within the EU about suitable counter-strategies. Solutions discussed in Brussels and member state capitals are meant to achieve two goals: to increase security at the EU’s external borders and to decrease the number of people dying in the Mediterranean. The article argues that while the European Commission has tried to keep the humanitarian aspect of the migration crisis on the agenda, the governments of the EU member in particular stress on the security aspect. Yet, it is exactly this concentration on the potential security threat that is leading to the paradoxical result that the EU is failing in achieving either more security for itself or more safety for the immigrants. With the aid of six examples, the article shows that an abandonment of the securitised perception of irregular immigration is needed to achieve both more security and more safety. In this logic, the article recommends fundamental changes to the EU’s approach towards immigration and calls for a comprehensive revision of the EU’s immigration policy.
