Resumen
Informed by qualitative evidence obtained from interviews with Moroccan farm workers in Italy, the article argues that the itineraries and the process of legalization of immigrants show that the agricultural sector can be conceived as a “Refuge Sector”. As it stands, the agricultural sector is where migrants can find a job and stabilize their situation in order to calculate their possibilities to obtain a legal status. Also, the results show that the type of permits owned by migrants do not reflect their legal situations but are the product of an opportunity they have been able to catch.
