This paper, result of a wider research, attempt to illuminate the link between economic crisis and migrants family reunification. The authors will try to show as the economic and structural impasse has contributed to further put in crisis what, at least formally, is recognized as a fundamental and subjective right. Above all the authors will attempt to shed light on the strategies adopted by immigrant families to complete their reunification and to defend, more or less successfully, the family unity right so acquired, but constantly besieged by a plurality of elements, such as: the globally changed economic framework; increasingly restrictive migration policies; a progressive fragmentation of the administrative process and practices management; the reactivated migratory mobility aimed to meet the material needs of the immigrant nuclear family.
