Symbols of barrier and learning of our existence, emblems of our shipwreck civilization, the borders even continue constituting, in the 21st century an important reference, although we are in the heat of was of the globalisation. The article sets out to present and to analyze the problematic one of the adaptation of the immigrant in the space of immigration. The paper taking as example the immigrant of Eastern Europe in Spain, and it guides from the immigrant speech. The first part approaches the border area like symbolism and the imaginary labyrinth of the borders; next it is realised trough qualitative study, an analysis of the factors that lead to the maintenance of the initial unsuitability of the foreigner, and the way in which perceives this one in Spain. Finally, I present, symbolically, the glass borders of immigration, from the voice of the immigrant.
