Irregular migration has always been a sensitive issue in Italian politics and is going to be a core-issue in a time of economic crisis, while in Brazil the current wave of international migration is regarded as a new phenomenon, resulting from the recent economic growth.

文摘The aim of this paper is to analyse the legal status of irregular migrants, both in Brazil and in Italy, from a comparative law perspective. Irregular migration has always been a sensitive issue in Italian politics and is going to be a core-issue in a time of economic crisis, while in Brazil the current wave of international migration is regarded as a new phenomenon, resulting from the recent economic growth. From a legal standpoint, this study provides an analysis of both national legal order and the jurisprudential trends issued by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights （IACtHR） and the European Court of Human Rights （ECtHR）, specifically underlining the judicial borrowing and interaction between the two courts.
