The Negative Effects of Securitizing Immigration - the Case of Bulgarian Migrants to the EU

The 2004 Eastern enlargement saw an ever hardening attitude against immigrants, mainly due to the securitization of international migration. The case of Bulgarian migrants in the European Union gives an example of the risks in considering all immigrants a threat to public security. The article by Denislava Simeonova seeks to explore the unintended effects of securitizing migration in the EU and suggests possible ways to reduce its negative effects.
