The size & nature of recent immigration to the US have raised the possibility that immigrants have diminished the labor market opportunities of low-skilled, native minority workers &, thereby, might have contributed to the emergence of the urban underclass. To the extent that immigrants & native workers are substitute factors of production, immigrants may reduce the wage rates of native labor, increase their unemployment, lower their labor force participation, undermine working conditions, & reduce rates of internal mobility. While casual empiricism would seem to support the notion that immigrants have depressed the opportunities of low-skilled native workers, recent, careful & sophisticated analyses provide little evidence that immigrants have had any significant negative impacts on the employment situation of black Americans. Thus competition from unskilled immigrants should not be included on the list of factors that have facilitated the growth of the underclass. 1 Table. HA

Aayad Lami, solicitor at Coram Children's Legal Centre, explains what support councils should provide to non-British children in care to ensure their immigration issues are identified earlier

The current literature on attachment and immigration is reviewed and attachment theory is used to illuminate immigrants' responses during the stages of premigration, transit, settlement, and adjustment/adaptation. The author argues that immigrants are more likely than nonimmigrants
to have an insecure attachment representation, and considers both causes and effects of immigration from an attachment theory perspective. It is suggested that long-term implications of immigration experience may include increased vulnerability to attachment trauma, and that understanding
social support and clinical aspects of immigrants' needs will benefit from the application of attachment theory. The author considers the usefulness of applying attachment theory to the experiences of nonimmigrant groups including expatriate employees, members of the armed services, government
employees stationed abroad and even foreign students are discussed. Several attachment-based research focuses to examine attachment among immigrants are proposed.

Kamena Dorling, policy and programmes manager at Coram Children's Legal Centre, examines the situation of vulnerable families with "no recourse to public funds", due to their immigration status

AbstractDenmark's entry policies may be summarised by stating that, as a general rule, immigration is no longer possible for non-Nordic and non-EC nationals. The exception is the entry of certain family members under the family reunification program detailed below which is itself restrictively administered. In an effort to stem the flow of refugees, moreover, Denmark has adopted very restrictive provisions which have the effect of denying access to many 'Convention' refugees. Implicit in the Danish policy is a desire to stem the flow into Denmark of non-western Europeans, which usually means 'non-whites'.
