Questions the view that liberal democracies cannot effectively control unwanted migration. To develop a more accurate position built on less sweeping generalizations, migration policy is disaggregated into four parts: managing legal immigration, controlling illegal migration, administering temporary worker programs, & processing asylum seekers & refugees. A review of the experiences of the liberal democracies with each of these migration challenges indicates that although there are numerous instances of policy failure, there is also considerable capacity to regulate migration. It is argued that: this capacity is growing, not declining, over time; some states possess more capacity than others; the control capacities of particular states vary substantially across the four areas; & these capacities fluctuate periodically in conjunction with contingent cycles of salience & effort.
