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.

Migration Policy and Politics in the Receiving States
A survey of the politics of immigration in the major receiving states shows a strong pattern of restrictionism in the face of unprecedented pressures for entry, but also amnesties, exceptions on humanitarian grounds, and hesitation to enforce the law. As individual states founder, multilateral strategies abound, but with scant success. The immigration crisis impedes EC progress toward the single market and contributes to opposition to the Maastricht Treaty. Ironically, the failure of states to deal with the crisis may reinforce national prerogatives and capacities with respect to immigration and strengthen rather than erode the distinction between economic migrants and refugees.

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.
