Abstract

This I-CLAIM report examines the narrative construction of migrant irregularity in the UK across three key domains: media, politics, and civil society. Through an in-depth analysis of texts published between 2019 and 2023, it explores how different stakeholders frame and influence public discourse on irregular migration. The study highlights the intersections of legal, economic, and moral narratives, shedding light on how irregularised migrants are portrayed within the broader migration debate.
