Abstract: 
Migration and border scholars have argued that the Europeanization and securitization of borders and migration have led to forms of population regulation that constitute a questionable divide between EU and non-EU groups, as well as between different non-EU groups. This paper argues that these processes have impacted not only centrifugally, on non-EU populations, but also centripetally, on the "intra-EU" divide regarding minorities such as Europe's Muslims and Roma. I explain how a de-nationalization of the concepts and methods of migration and border studies-beyond methodological nationalism and Eurocentrism-sheds light on the under-researched impact of the EU's external border regime on minoritized EU citizens. I introduce the notion of "evictability" to articulate this de-nationalization and discuss the case study of Europe's Romani minority to show how contemporary forms of securitization further divide Europe bio-politically along intra-European lines.
