Who are undocumented workers?
![Page 4: DR. ELAINE DEWHURST Dublin City University Socio-Legal Research Centre The Other Side of Undocumented Immigration: Addressing the Pull Factor.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e005503460f94ae92ea/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Between 4.5 – 8 million illegal immigrants in the EU working in all sectors of the economy (Source: European Parliament (2009))
PROBLEM!

Current Approaches to Undocumented Migration
![Page 8: DR. ELAINE DEWHURST Dublin City University Socio-Legal Research Centre The Other Side of Undocumented Immigration: Addressing the Pull Factor.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e005503460f94ae92ea/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
State Measures to Address
Undocumented Immigration
Criminal penalties e.g. Immigration Acts (Ireland) Penalise employers for hiring illegal immigrants Penalise employees for being illegal immigrants
Three D’s – Detection, Detention, Deportation Increased border controls / inspection
mechanisms Detention facilities for illegal immigrants Deportation of illegal immigrants
Regularisation programmes

TACKLING THE PULL FACTOR
A new approach
![Page 10: DR. ELAINE DEWHURST Dublin City University Socio-Legal Research Centre The Other Side of Undocumented Immigration: Addressing the Pull Factor.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e005503460f94ae92ea/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Why a New Approach? Addressing a “Pull” Factor
Pull factors are those factors that entice illegal immigrants to a State
One key pull factor: availability of employment in the State
![Page 11: DR. ELAINE DEWHURST Dublin City University Socio-Legal Research Centre The Other Side of Undocumented Immigration: Addressing the Pull Factor.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e005503460f94ae92ea/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Risk v. Profit
Decision to hire / decision to take up work illegally is based on a balance of Risk v. Profit Risk low and profit high = pull factor Risk high and profit low = no pull factor
How to make risk high? Increase current measures
How to make profit low? Enforce employment rights for undocumented migrants

EU Member States and the Pull Factor

Current Approaches
![Page 14: DR. ELAINE DEWHURST Dublin City University Socio-Legal Research Centre The Other Side of Undocumented Immigration: Addressing the Pull Factor.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e005503460f94ae92ea/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Non-Protection Approach
![Page 15: DR. ELAINE DEWHURST Dublin City University Socio-Legal Research Centre The Other Side of Undocumented Immigration: Addressing the Pull Factor.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e005503460f94ae92ea/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Current Approaches

Protection with Consequences Approach
![Page 17: DR. ELAINE DEWHURST Dublin City University Socio-Legal Research Centre The Other Side of Undocumented Immigration: Addressing the Pull Factor.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e005503460f94ae92ea/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Current Approaches

Full Protection Approach
![Page 19: DR. ELAINE DEWHURST Dublin City University Socio-Legal Research Centre The Other Side of Undocumented Immigration: Addressing the Pull Factor.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e005503460f94ae92ea/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The New EU Approach
EU Sanctions Directive (2009/52 EC)
![Page 20: DR. ELAINE DEWHURST Dublin City University Socio-Legal Research Centre The Other Side of Undocumented Immigration: Addressing the Pull Factor.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e005503460f94ae92ea/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
EU Approach
Protection with Consequences Only protects remuneration rights (illegal immigrants
can claim for back pay, taxes and social security contributions and costs arising from claiming back pay). Does not protect other employment rights
Remedies – Directive states that illegal immigrants should have access to an effective remedy Directly – the worker can take a claim on their own
behalf – recognises the consequences that the worker will face as a result
![Page 21: DR. ELAINE DEWHURST Dublin City University Socio-Legal Research Centre The Other Side of Undocumented Immigration: Addressing the Pull Factor.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062423/56649e005503460f94ae92ea/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
EU Sanctions Directive
Appears to allow for some measure of “full protection approach”
The Directive makes provision (Article 13) for another body to act “on behalf of” or “in support of” an illegal immigrant– is this a full protection approach? – no mention of confidentiality.
