Foreign people, the enemy.

Abstract

Despite the fact migrations are common through history, the exclusion the migrant suffers is considerable, and it may happen economically, socially and culturally. Nother kind of separation, on the political context, specially after the September 11th terrorist attacks, is that migrants are often identified as threats to national security, causing institutes such as the asylum to perish and lose their effectiveness. his article plans to bring the logic of the political relation friend-enemy, by Carl Schmitt, to understand the motives behind this speech that identifies the migrant to the risk.
