Abstract

In many European cities, hundreds of immigrants queue up every day in front of government offices. This is not just a recurring image of immigration in the media, but an everyday reality They stand in waiting lines in order to get access to scarce public services, especially to get their work and residence permits issued or extended. Immigrants’ relationships to the bureaucracy of their host country tend to be moulded by this specific inconvenience, as this obligation usually reflects their social condition: in most cases ‘legal’ immigrants are allowed social and economic citizenship, but still seem to be treated differently because of the fact that they remain foreigners in their host society.
