The process of 'othering' is not a concern only of foreigners, but also of citizens with an immigrant background, being a label that is passed down from generation to generation. This chapter will look at the perceived discrimination, alienation, and feelings of 'othering' among second-generation Turkish immigrants in the Netherlands, involving an analysis of family reunification measures and how they are applied. To this end, the impact of the legal context on the lives of second-generation Turks is assessed not only through legal research, but also ethnographic field research. It can be concluded that the outcomes of the Dutch family reunification measures undertaken in the name of integration are in direct contravention with the stated intention. Rather than their legal situation, it is the administrative and legal hurdles that immigrants must overcome that alienate them and feed their feelings of exclusion and increase the distance between them and the native Dutch, just when they think they are getting closer.
