Abstract
This theoretical essay intends to discuss how migration law produces the subjectivity of the "irregular migrant". The discussion takes place on the migratory paradox represented by the right to leave one territory, not accompanied by a consequent right of entry into another. It seeks to understand it in its biopolitical effects, which has as one of its symptoms the construction of the "irregular migrant" as an ambivalent figure: on the one hand, his life inspires international humanitarian protection; on the other, it poses a risk against which the social body must be protected. Inspired by Foucauldian genealogy, this academic essay aims to draw attention to these strategies of power in order to allow us to identify when migration law, under pretension of a universal human protection, acts exactly in the hierarchy of humanities.
