Study Notes
Deterring Illegal Residence: Immigration Detention in the Netherlands
- Punishment vs. Administrative Detention: Although administrative detention is not formally considered a punishment, detainees often perceive it as punitive. This raises questions about the intended purpose of such detention. The conditions of administrative detention—limited opportunities for work and study—are contrasted with regular prison settings, suggesting a punitive aspect that may deter illegal migration.
Deterrence
- Political Figures: Acknowledge the use of administrative detention as a deterrent against illegal migration. The belief is that increased surveillance and the threat of detention discourage illegal residence. Despite these efforts, there is little evidence to suggest that administrative detention effectively reduces the number of illegal migrants in the Netherlands.
Social Exclusion and Dependency
- The Koppelingswet (Linking Act): Excludes illegal migrants from welfare and healthcare, leading to increased dependence on informal support networks. This marginalization can result in increased crime among illegal migrants. Local governments have started providing some support to specific categories of illegal migrants, but this assistance is limited and selective.
Emerging Patterns of Vulnerability
- Highly Vulnerable Illegal Migrants: There is a growing group of highly vulnerable illegal migrants who face difficulties in regularization due to their marginalized status and past criminal records. Detention is viewed as a potential form of "relief" for these individuals, offering a temporary escape from their difficult lives on the streets.
Comparison with Historical Institutions
-
Historical Poorhouses: The practices surrounding immigration detention today are likened to historical poorhouses and workhouses that aimed to control poverty. However, current detention systems focus on "outsiders" rather than rehabilitating "insiders." This shift indicates a movement away from rehabilitation towards a more punitive, incapacitating system for managing marginalized populations.
-
Overall: Immigration detention has evolved into a mechanism for controlling and incapacitating marginalized illegal migrants rather than providing rehabilitative support. This reflects broader shifts in penal policies and societal attitudes towards migrants, indicating a move towards stricter control and exclusion rather than integration and support.
Public Sentiment and Immigration Policy
-
Increased Negative Attitudes: Public opinion in the Netherlands has shifted increasingly against immigration from poorer non-EU countries since the mid-1990s. Surveys indicate a significant portion of the population favors restrictive immigration policies.
-
Political Response: In response to public anxiety about immigration seekers, the Dutch government has implemented stricter policies and, at times, taken steps to regularize certain groups of rejected asylum seekers, such as in 2008.
