That migrants' legal status has impacts on their integration in receiving countries is a recognised fact. We further argue that it also affects their reintegration on returning to the home country, although with some significant variations depending on the details of their legal status history. Using data from the Senegalese TEMPER survey, we adopt a life course approach of migrant's status while they were in Europe to identify links between several indicators of reintegration and different patterns of irregular status (moment when they were in an irregular situation and the duration in this situation). The results of our multivariate analyses show that only those migrants whose irregular situations were the most extreme (deported, or irregular throughout their stay in Europe) are at a disadvantage compared to nonmigrants as well as other returnees. This shows that the initial disadvantage of out-migrating from Africa without proper documentation does not turn systematically into a cumulative disadvantage.

返回移民的社会经济重新融合和欧洲法律地位轨迹的多样性

移民的法律地位会影响他们在接收国的融入，这是公认的事实。我们进一步认为，这也会影响他们返回本国后的重新融合，尽管根据他们的法律身份历史的详细信息会有一些显着变化。利用塞内加尔 TEMPER 调查的数据，我们采用了移民在欧洲期间身份的生命历程方法，以确定重新融合的几个指标与不同的不正常身份模式之间的联系（他们处于不正常情况的时刻和在此期间的持续时间）情况）。我们的多变量分析结果表明，只有那些不正常情况最极端的移民（被驱逐出境，或在欧洲逗留期间不规律）与非移民以及其他返回者相比处于劣势。这表明，在没有适当文件的情况下从非洲迁出的最初劣势并没有系统地转变为累积劣势。
