Migrants’ struggles against borders have been examined extensively among refugees and undocumented migrants, whereas the everyday struggles in contexts of administrative bordering have remained insufficiently examined within the framework of so-called highly skilled migration. Drawing on in-depth interviews (N=34) with migrants holding a student residence permit in Finland, this article addresses the means of challenging administrative borders in a constrained situation produced by the border regime. I argue that student-migrant-workers employ pragmatic strategies by making use of the legal framework to secure their right to residence. However, the efforts at circumventing the constraints of the border regime often become re-inscribed within the framework of capitalist production, displaying the ambivalence of migrant practices. This article contributes to the scarce sociological literature on the struggles around administrative borders and the vague scholarly inquiry into student-migrants' efforts at challenging migration control.

矛盾的策略:学生-农民工在挑战行政边界方面的努力

移民与边境的斗争在难民和无证移民中得到了广泛的研究,而行政边界背景下的日常斗争在所谓的高技术移民框架内仍未得到充分研究。通过对在芬兰持有学生居留许可的移民进行深入访谈(N=34),本文探讨了在边界制度产生的受限情况下挑战行政边界的方法。我认为,学生-农民工通过利用法律框架来确保他们的居住权,采用务实的策略。然而,为规避边境政权的限制所做的努力,往往被重新写入资本主义生产的框架内,表现出移民实践的矛盾心理。
