Promised Borderland Forced Migration Online (24276783) Migration, asylum and refugee law FORCED MIGRATION ONLINE ILLEGAL ENTRY ARRIVAL PROCEDURES IMMIGRATION POLICY HEALTH SERVICES SOCIAL SERVICES SOCIAL WELFARE Compared to the two continental European cases of Germany and Austria, the system of migration control in (and outside) the United Kingdom displays distinct differences. In part, this results from the country's status as an island, which provides 'natural' borders. This is a geographical advantage, which can be exploited for the purpose of migration control concentrated on the ports of entry. On the other hand, migrants and their facilitators continue to find ever-new ways to undermine this border control regime focused on pre- and on-entry checks. Meanwhile, the corresponding lack of post-entry controls and 'easy access' to public services once inside the country may represent additional attractions to the increasing number of migrants who choose the UK as their final destination. 2026-09-30T11:52:40Z Text Online resource 10.25446/oxford.33358185.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/online_resource/Promised_Borderland/33358185 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
