The paper examines EU legislative texts concerning the rights of migrants and demonstrates how the humanitarian spirit of inclusion purportedly inspiring them is constantly invalidated by the ideology of exclusion surreptitiously encoded in the texts through discursive choices that construct the migrants as passive recipients on whom a restricted set of rights is bestowed by someone else.

Abstract
The paper examines EU legislative texts concerning the rights of migrants and demonstrates how the humanitarian spirit of inclusion purportedly inspiring them is constantly invalidated by the ideology of exclusion surreptitiously encoded in the texts through discursive choices that construct the migrants as passive recipients on whom a restricted set of rights is bestowed by someone else.
