Labour migration from LO's point of view can only be legitimate if it contributes to the Swedish welfare. The organisation only considers labour migration to contribute to the welfare if equal rights exist on the Swedish labour market. This essays analysis illustrates that labour migration as a phenomenon and as an identity in the discourse is connection to risk and threat against the Swedish welfare.

For equal rights to exist on the labour market LO need to erase the boundary that their discourse has built. (Less)
