Hot Topics: Immigration

Immigration, both legal and illegal, happens all over the world. But why do people so desperately want to leave their own countries? Are the reasons always good? What do migrants expect from the countries they are moving to? Likewise, what are the effects that migration has on the places they go? And why do governments seem to want to make it more difficult for outsiders to move in? This book explains the complicated issue of immigration and tries to make sense of the many arguments for and against it.
