政府通常将移民管制视为确保“英国工人在英国就业”并保护移民免受剥削的一种手段。然而,在实践中,它们可能会破坏劳动保护。除了调节劳动力流动的龙头之外,移民管制还发挥模具的作用,帮助形成与雇主和劳动力市场有特殊关系的劳动力类型。特别是,制度化的不确定性的建设,加上不太正式的移民过程,有助于产生“不稳定的工人”,雇主和劳动力使用者对他们有特殊的控制机制。
Immigration controls are often presented by government as a means of ensuring 'British jobs for British workers' and protecting migrants from exploitation. However, in practice they can undermine labour protections. As well as a tap regulating the flow of labour, immigration controls function as a mould, helping to form types of labour with particular relations to employers and the labour market. In particular, the construction of institutionalised uncertainty, together with less formalised migratory processes, help produce 'precarious workers' over whom employers and labour users have particular mechanisms of control.
