| description | When the Caja Costarricense de Seguro Social (CCSS), the flagship institution of
Costa Rica’s ‘exceptional’ -solidary and universal- social policy regime, entered
in financial crisis in 2011, the already difficult social integration of Nicaraguan
immigrants in Costa Rica became even more critical. Faced with a general
deterioration of social services, a perception that immigrants are threatening
the availability of jobs and social services for the national population, and
voices that advocate the creation of limits to social rights and access to social
benefits, this essay analyzes the political reaction of the State, specifically
whether it chooses to limit immigrants’ access to healthcare. In a discussion on
state sovereignty, universalism and social rights, this article argues that
immigration control responsibilities are transferred to social policy institutions,
“shifting in” migration control and that the principle of universalism of Costa
Rica’s social policy regime does not necessarily apply to parts of the immigrant
population, both irregular and regular. |
