\n\n“This chapter disentangles migrants\u2019 ambivalent relationship with the law from a socio-legal perspective on the migration regime. Rather than simply standing \u2018before\u2019 the law \u2013 and thus outside of it \u2013 migrants with a precarious legal status frequently seek to act \u2018with the law\u2019 in order to use it to their favour. However, they often get caught up and lost within legal procedures when trying to legalise their presence, simultaneously feeling trapped by the law. The chapter conceptualises migrants\u2019 tactics and their legal consciousness as when they use creativity to evade the implementation of certain laws while trying to appropriate other legal frameworks to their advantage. Their tactics can thus both involve practices of avoiding the law (such as eluding states\u2019 law enforcement) or practices of appropriating the law (such as engaging in legal proceedings in the hope of regularisation). Finally, this chapter discusses the issue of marriage, which is one of the last resorts people turn to in order to legalise their presence. The chapter thus zooms into migrants\u2019 navigation of the law and further discusses migrants\u2019 agency at the margins of the state.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
