Definition

  • Illegal migration is a global phenomenon, and, as part of international migration in general, it aids in the global interconnectedness that links North and South regions of the world. The term illegal migration can be defined as border crossing that takes place in contravention of laws and regulations on the entry into, the journey through, and/or the departure from the national territories of states or without the legal residence and/or employment permit or authorization of these states.
