Abstract
Western democratic nation-states are governing (im)migration through systemic indifference. Social order and the rule of law are not honored because immigrants are only subject to this new form of social control (necropolitics, refusal of entry in humanitarian crisis, border outsourcing, and permanent state of exception on borders). This article analyses different ways of governing migration through indifference, why systemic indifference is the new social control, and deepens in the internal contradictions of democratic nation-states in times of mass migrations, aged societies, populisms, and the reinforcement of whiteness. Do we confront a catharsis of democratic paradigms?
