Recent scholarship on families living in poverty has focused on immigrant and migrant families, legal and illegal. The element of citizenship has received relatively broad attention, as legal status has profound influence on the individual’s life chances. However, studies exploring relations between noncitizenship and poverty have not provided a comprehensive explanation of the mechanisms that deprive noncitizens of the possibility of accumulating sufficient material resources. The study offers a nuanced, comprehensive account of the process of economic deprivation, focusing on four main survival strategies with respect to noncitizen Palestinian families residing in Israel. Drawing on 24 qualitative in-depth interviews with adult family members, we apply the intersectionality approach to decipher mechanisms of exclusion at work in the everyday lives of illegal migrants, shaping their ability to attain material resources. Findings point to a need to adopt a transnational protection framework in order to allow economic and social inclusion of noncitizens.

最近关于生活贫困家庭的奖学金重点关注移民和移民家庭，无论是合法的还是非法的。公民这一要素受到了较为广泛的关注，因为法律地位对个人的生活机会有着深远的影响。然而，探索非公民与贫困之间关系的研究并没有对剥夺非公民积累足够物质资源的可能性的机制提供全面的解释。该研究对经济剥夺的过程进行了细致入微的全面说明，重点关注居住在以色列的非公民巴勒斯坦家庭的四种主要生存策略。利用对成年家庭成员的 24 次定性深度访谈，我们运用交叉方法来解读非法移民日常生活中工作中的排斥机制，塑造他们获取物质资源的能力。调查结果表明需要采用跨国保护框架，以便让非公民能够融入经济和社会。
