Behind the Green Card explodes the innumerable myths and bogeymen that obscure the reality of US immigration policy. Blinded by misguided 'national security interests, ' the United States has codified a series of unworkable and irresponsible laws which make this country weaker, poorer and less secure than ever. Through the elimination of both a huge marketplace and enormous supply of labor, the US struggles to regain economic growth while other developed nations, through sensible immigration policies, forge ahead.

Controlling a New Migration World explores the factors that drive recent migration control policies and, in turn, sheds light on the unintended consequences of policies for the new character of migration. This book asks how we can account for the immigration policies of liberal states. Is the recent linkage between migration and security a rhetorical invention of elites or a reflection of changing migrant profiles? Are states' control policies effectively containing or only redirecting unwanted migration flows? This increasingly relevant issue will be of great use to anyone working in comparative politics, sociology and studying ethnicity or international migration, as well as professionals working in the migrant/asylum and public law fields.

European migration policies are undergoing significant changes. After three decades of highly restrictive approaches, demographic changes and gaps in labour supply are prompting many European governments to liberalize their migration policies. Yet the shift to more liberal regimes comes at a time of increased hostility to asylum seekers and support for parties of the far right in several countries, as well as uncertainty about the effectiveness of integration and race relations strategies. This timely book examines the nature and impact of these changing migration policies in Germany, Italy and the UK. It analyses the content of new legislation and proposals, as well as the policy debate and party political treatment of migration issues in each country. The book considers the implications of these new policies for other categories of migrants: asylum seekers, refugees and resident ethnic minorities.
