The criminalization of migration : context and consequences
With over 240 million migrants in the world, including over 65 million forced migrants and refuggees, states have turned to draconian measures to stem the flow of irregular migration, including the criminalization of migration itself. Canada, perceived as a nation of immigrants and touted as one of the most generous countries in the world today for its reception of refugees, has not been immune from these practices. This book examines the \"crimmigration\" -- the criminalization of migration -- from national and comparative perspectives, drawing attention to the increasing use of criminal law measures, public policies, and practices that stigmatize or diminish the rights of forced migrants and regugees within a dominant public discourse that not only steoreotypes and criminalizes but marginalized forced migrants. -- Provided by publisher.

Immigration and Internal Security: Political Deportations during the McCarthy Era
Immigrants have often been targets of political repression in the United States. The McCarthy period was no exception. During the late 1940s and early 1950s thousands of aliens and naturalized citizens were threatened with deportation and otherwise punished because of their left-wing connections (or, in many cases, former connections). Immigrant leftists provided the federal government with popular and relatively noncontroversial opportunities for action against domestic communism during the Cold War era. But bureaucratic disputes among government agencies and prolonged litigation carried out by immigrant defense groups diminished the efficacy of such repression. Despite a lack of formal constitutional protection, many political undesirables managed to avoid deportation, but at the considerable personal and political costs of damaged lives and destroyed organizations.

Let (a lot more of) them in
Pres Barack Obama had just announced a controversial plan to realign immigration enforcement priorities. Since he has been unable to get law-makers to budge, the president will instead use administrative tools to defer deportation proceedings against illegal immigrants with American children or spouses and deep community ties. The plan also involves concentrating resources on ejecting unauthorized immigrants with criminal records. Obama's plan utterly fails to address the underlying problems with the immigration system, yet it still may squelch any hope for comprehensive reform. But instead of overhauling this crazy system and offering relief to the employers and foreigners stuck inside it, anti-immigration activists have held up reform for more than a decade. Ultimately, America's entire immigration system, under which distant federal bureaucrats sit and plot the labor market for the entire country, needs complete makeover. One way to do so would be to reform America's immigration system along the lines of Canada's Provincial Nominee Program.
