Summary
Few policy issues generate as much heated rhetoric and embroiled debate as immigration regulation. Who should be allowed to transverse a border and become a citizen? What restrictions, if any, should a government place on the economic and social activity of migrants? In this book, we documented the varying approaches that governments in different parts of the world, and at different points in time, have approached this question.
