Cover Story: The COVID-19 pandemic is amplifying existing inequalities, including those associated with migration. Refugees, the most marginalised of all migrants, have had the most to lose. The threat to refugees comes not only from material (in)security but from the increasing exclusion and exceptionalism associated with the politics of protection. In Europe, the US and across the Global South, COVID-19 has been used by governments as a reason to double-down on border closures or as an excuse to dip into their migration policy toolboxes to demonstrate the robustness of their response to it. Refugees have been prevented from accessing international protection or used as scapegoats by populist leaders exploiting the pandemic for political mileage. Some states have also used the pandemic to push through controversial refugee policies that limit access to protection. View this paper.
