| Sumario: | [EN] The article examines Spain’s transformation into an immigration country over the past thirty years, focusing on migration control at the southern border. Since the early 1990s, the foreign population has risen from 1% to 14%, with flows highly sensitive to economic cycles. Irregular migration—whether through unauthorized crossings or overstaying—has been closely linked to Spain’s economic model and to unfulfilled political promises. Border control has been reinforced through fences in Ceuta and Melilla, the SIVE surveillance system, and bilateral and multilateral cooperation, particularly with Morocco and the EU. These policies created selective permeability, externalization, and new mechanisms of containment (detention centers, CATE, macrocenters). Today, the European Pact on Migration and Asylum signals a shift toward a more restrictive regime, with increased deportations and fewer guarantees. Spain thus appears on the threshold of a new stage of migration control, marked by tighter border enforcement and asymmetric rights of mobility. |
