Authors : Maalem Oum El Banine .

Abstract

The phenomenon of illegal immigration is a major, thorny, and current issue that has become of great concern to the international community. Its forms have varied depending on the circumstances of the exporting and receiving countries and different historical eras. Today, it is a sensitive problem with various patterns, capabilities, and multiple causes, constituting an economic burden on the one hand and a security and social concern on the other, with adverse effects. This research paper addresses the economic and social repercussions of illegal immigration in Libya. The study concludes that illegal immigration, as a socio-economic phenomenon, stems from a significant defect that must be corrected through an integrated strategy encompassing economic, social, political, cultural, and security aspects to relatively limit the impact on the Libyan state and its neighboring countries
