Abstract
This article investigates the imbrications between migration and national identity, paying special attention to the way in which the family dimension of international migration is problematized under the integration paradigm. In the introduction, some questions are pointed out that will act as an ordering guide for the arguments that organize the text. Subsequently, I return to Abdelmalek Sayad’s legacy to explain the starting points of my arguments: the intrinsic links between migration order and national order, and the consequent illegitimacy and provisionality of the immigrant presence. In the following sections I show the connections between the gradual politicization of migrant’s family life in the European context; the gender, race, class and sexual politics that form what Eric Fassin calls the imperialism of sexual democracy and the changing substances of national identities.
