The present junctureKeywords Immigration, alien, laws, European Union, CanariesPalabras clave Inmigración, extranjería, legislación , Unión Europea, Canariastation of the approved patterns by the Constitution require a previous articulation of an integrating model as a reference for all citizens. This is still a pending task, although some Autonomous Communities have made some progress in designing some instructions that could put on track this process. A change regarding the analysis of the situation is certainly necessary in such a way that what appears today as Alien Status could be restructured as Immigration Laws in so that the fundamental concern of the legal system would stop being only a re- gulation and control of the alien status and the adequate regulation of the migratory process as a whole would become favored.
