Comprehensive explorations of major issues affecting the global community. People have many different reasons for leaving their home country, but they are nearly always looking for a better or safer life. This book considers the pull factors that attract people to another country and the push factors that drive them from their home country. It looks at movements of people in the past, the impact of current immigration and the arguments that people put forward in favour or against welcoming immigrants to a country. It asks readers to think about what they can do to learn more about this global issue and the people affected by it

And the Union is engaged in a process leading to a Community immigration policy. However, this process must not hide the differences in the dynamics and traditions of migration between countries.

All philosophical defenders of the view that wealthy, liberal states morally ought to eliminate all or most restrictions on immigration maintain that the removal of formal barriers to immigration (that is, the adoption of an open borders immigration regime) by wealthy, liberal states would bring about a significant reduction in global economic inequality and severe poverty. The global egalitarian promise of open borders serves as the primary justification for the proposal in the work of some theorists, while in the work of others, it features as an ancillary argument or as a reply to objections. The rationale for this defense of open borders is that the global poor lack economic opportunities in their countries of residence, but that they could partake of the relatively abundant economic opportunities that wealthy, liberal countries currently reserve for their own legal residents in the absence of formal barriers to immigration.
