Sumario:[EN]This article examines the cross-border mobility practices of Eastern European immigrants across and within European Union (EU) borders, taking into account the changes in the patterns of the EU border regime which have affected mobility in the last 20 years. Drawing on empirical research with references to in-depth qualitative interviews of Eastern immigrants in Spain, this paper highlights the ways in which the emerging models of crossborder mobility management are producing new geographies of the EU's border. On the one hand, (re)bordering makes human mobility difficult, while on the other, networked border facilitates mobility.
