Background. The intensification of migratory flows has opened up a discussion on the values on which the European Union is based. Securitization of migration in Italy has influenced changes in migration law and political discourse. Aim. The main aim of the article was to determine the impact of legislation and policies on migration and migrants in Italy. Method. We conducted a review of the narrative literature from the studied area. In our work we used the methodology of political sciences. We have subjected normative acts to in-depth analysis. In addition, we used the results of statistical research. Results. There is a strong link between the securitization of Italian migration and asylum law and the situation of migrants and refugees in Italy. The architecture of Italian migration law reflects the politicisation of the problem. Securitization has enabled extraordinary legal measures to be taken in the name of security. Italian migration policy and law from 2017-2019 has negatively affected the quality of life and the integration of migrants. Additional information. The results provide a starting point for broader research into other European migration systems and policies. The results of an in-depth comparative analysis and the use of countries’ experiences may be a starting point for redefining the Polish migration law and policy on migration and migrants.
