An unenthusiastic stance toward asylum seekers has prevailed among industrialized host states. Asylum seekers with economic motivations have been labelled “‘bogus” by the law, in politics, and in the popular imagination of host states. This approach, however, oversimplifies the relationship between asylum seekers and the state. This article explores the experiences of 10 Filipino asylum seekers in South Korea, a popular destination for Filipinos with the hope of finding a solution to their agony. It illustrates how they are categorized as voluntary denizens and how they negotiate Korea’s definition of a refugee. Drawn from in-depth interviews, this article claims that the contested definitions of refugee may criminalize the real-life survival of law-abiding migrants.
Abstract
An unenthusiastic stance toward asylum seekers has prevailed among industrialized host states. Asylum seekers with economic motivations have been labelled “‘bogus” by the law, in politics, and in the popular imagination of host states. This approach, however, oversimplifies the relationship between asylum seekers and the state. This article explores the experiences of 10 Filipino asylum seekers in South Korea, a popular destination for Filipinos with the hope of finding a solution to their agony. It illustrates how they are categorized as voluntary denizens and how they negotiate Korea’s definition of a refugee. Drawn from in-depth interviews, this article claims that the contested definitions of refugee may criminalize the real-life survival of law-abiding migrants.
