Migrations are inseparable from globalization and therefore they create ways of understanding the ‘us-others’ relationship on the ground of an extension of citizenship. When analyzing the global governability the expectations, facing the capitalist system or the imaginary explaining migrations, are crucial to understand such a phenomenon as the return migration. This work is about bringing forth as controversial a concept that is in a constant construction academically and politically such as the concept of return, in order to relate it with public security and the relationships between minorities and majorities.
