Regulatory control logic | Economic welfare logic | |
---|---|---|
Assumption / point of departure | Imperative to enforce the rule of law consistently | Acknowledge that barriers to deportation persist |
Conception of fairness | Fairness as rule of law (right to remain versus no right to remain) | Meritocracy: training / working establishes deservingness; Kantian: presence grants rights |
Primary objective | Priority of residence termination for those without a legal right to remain | Priority of integration to minimize burden on social security systems |
Secondary objective(s) | Avoid integration to not counteract priority of residence termination | Meet employer demands (skills shortages), avoid large-scale social exclusion (security aspect) |
Signalling effect(s) to the public | Acting ‘tough’ on migration, protecting ‘native’ jobs | Migrants contribute to social security systems |
Signalling effect to (potential) migrants | No incentive: access to the labour market is difficult | Cooperation rewarded with rights to integrate / remain |
