The current 'migration crisis' in Europe started at the end of 2014, as migrants, primarily from Africa and Syria, and mainly due to war, arrived in Europe in big numbers. Initially, the European Council labelled the situation as tragic (European Council statement 2015, European Commission and its priorities, 2018). With the growing influx of migrants, member states started referring to the situation as a security problem, resulting in a greater reluctance to accept newcomers into their territory. In February 2016, the EU member states imposed a European border, deployed coast guards and implemented a joint Turkey action plan. "Fortress Europe" was gaining momentum. Europe promised aid to Western Balkan countries in handling the massive migration waves. Countries were forced to accept a quota of migrants (Bauerová, 2015). ; peer-reviewed

This book provides the first in-depth history of immigration detention in the United States. Employing extensive archival research to document the origins and development of immigration detention in the U.S. from 1973 to 2000, it reveals how the world's largest detention system originated in the U.S. government's campaign to exclude Haitians from American shores, and how resistance by Haitians and their allies constantly challenged the detention regime

We study a high profile public policy question on immigration, namely the link between crime and immigration, presenting new evidence from England and Wales in the 2000s. For studying immigration impacts, this period is of considerable interest as the composition of migration to the UK altered dramatically with the accession of Eastern European countries (the A8) to the European Union in 2004. As we show, this has important implications for ensuring a causal impact of immigration can be identified. When we are able to implement a credible research design with statistical power, we find no evidence of an average causal impact of immigration on crime, nor do we when we consider A8 and Non-A8 immigration separately. We also study London by itself as the immigration changes over time in the capital city were large. Again, we find no causal impact of immigration on crime from our spatial econometric analysis and also present evidence from unique data on arrests of natives and immigrants in London which shows no immigrant differences in the likelihood of being arrested.

When Ye Pei dreamed of Venice as a girl, she imagined a magical floating city of canals and gondola rides. And she imagined her mother, successful in her new life and eager to embrace the daughter she had never forgotten. But when Ye Pei arrives in Italy, she learns her mother works on a farm far from the city. Her only connection, a mean-spirited Chinese auntie, puts Ye Pei to work in a small-town café. Rather than giving up and returning to China, a determined Ye Pei takes on a grueling schedule, resolving to save enough money to provide her family with a better future. A groundbreaking work of journalism, Meet Me in Venice provides a personal, intimate account of Chinese individuals in the very act of migration. Suzanne Ma spent years in China and Europe to understand why Chinese people choose to immigrate to nations where they endure hardship, suspicion, manual labor and separation from their loved ones. Today all eyes are on China and its explosive economic growth. With the rise of the Chinese middle class, Chinese communities around the world are growing in size and prosperity, a development many westerners find unsettling and even threatening. Following Ye Pei's undaunted path, this inspiring book is an engrossing read for those eager to understand contemporary China and the enormous impact of Chinese emigrants around the world

The goal of Australia's migration programme is to meet Australia's economic and social needs through building the economy, shaping society, supporting the labour market and reuniting family. The Business Innovation and Investment Programme is designed to meet those needs by attracting high quality investors and entrepreneurs to invest in Australia.It is important to encourage the creation of genuine and sustainable business opportunities that will generate economic growth, benefiting both the Australian economy and workforce. With an increasingly important economic objective, the Committee held the view that it would be beneficial to inquire into the programme and assess its effectiveness. However, the Committee faced a number of challenges during the course of its inquiry which impacted on its ability to address its terms of reference. Most notably was the distinct lack of empirical evidence. As the programme is administered by the Federal Department of Immigration and Border Protection and each State and Territory Government, the Committee invited the Governments to provide submissions and attend public hearings. However, the information, and in particular the data provided by the Governments was limited and furnished little evidence that the programme was actually meeting any of its objectives. Other challenges included the exclusion of a key component of the programme (the Significant Investor Visa stream); the contradictory nature of the recommendations made by the various stakeholders; the relatively short timeframe from when the programme commenced in its current form to the commencement of this inquiry; and the announcement by the Government that it would expand the Significant Investor Visa, task Austrade to become a nominating entity for the visa, conduct a survey on the 2015-16 migration programme as well as undertake a review of the skilled migration and temporary activity visa programmes. The Committee therefore recommends that the Department of Immigration and Border Protection examine the ...
