非法入境是 20 世纪 20 年代至 1970 年代南非马德拉移民经历的一个核心特征。缺乏技能的马德拉人通常不受南非政府欢迎，他们利用人口走私网络进入该国。在合法居民马德拉人拥有的农场或商店非法工作是一种常见的做法。其中很大一部分人在该国长期工作后最终获得了工作许可。非法移民不仅普遍贫困且文盲，而且还必须生活在监视之下以避免被捕和驱逐出境。尽管他们的官方身份是“白人”，并且这为他们提供了许多优势，但非法马德拉人充其量也生活在白人社会的边缘数十年。
Illegal entry was a central feature of the Madeiran immigrant experience in South Africa between the 1920s and 1970s. Unskilled Madeirans, who were generally not welcomed by the South African state, tapped into human smuggling networks to enter the country. It was a common practice to work illegally on farms or in shops owned by legally resident Madeirans. A large portion of these eventually secured work permits after having worked in the country for long periods. Not only were illegal immigrants generally destitute and illiterate, but they had to live under the radar to avoid arrest and deportation. In spite of their official status as ‘white’ and the many advantages this offered them, illegal Madeirans lived on, at best, the fringes of white society for several decades.
