Open migration policies deserve fuller analysis, as evidenced by President Barack Obama's pledge to make immigration reform a priority. Kevin R. Johnson offers an alternative vision of how U.S. borders might be reconfigured, grounded in moral, economic, and policy arguments for open borders. Importantly, liberalizing migration through an open borders policy would recognize that the enforcement of closed borders cannot stifle the strong, perhaps irresistible, economic, social, and political pressures that fuel international migration. Controversially, Johnson suggests that open borders are entirely consistent with efforts to prevent terrorism that have dominated immigration enforcement since the events of September 11, 2001. More liberal migration, he suggests, would allow for full attention to be paid to the true dangers to public safety and national security."-from Amazon.comEmigration and immigration lawUnited StatesNoncitizensGovernment policyUnited StatesIllegal immigrationUnited StatesEmigration and immigrationGovernment policyUnited StatesBoundariesFloodgates.Opening.border.case.construct.country.eliminating.impedes.into.legal.makes.movement.people.that.this.Emigration and immigration lawNoncitizensGovernment policyIllegal immigration.342.7308/2Johnson Kevin R1549094MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778246203321Opening the floodgates3834148UNINA02990nam 2200721 a 450 991051150670332120200520144314.09786612195969978128219596712821959649783110203349311020334010.1515/9783110095852.1(CKB)1000000000697888(EBL)453786(OCoLC)516168433(SSID)ssj0000344647(PQKBManifestationID)11254275(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000344647(PQKBWorkID)10307017(PQKB)11653988(MiAaPQ)EBC453786(WaSeSS)Ind00010607(DE-599)GBV575007915(DE-B1597)33543(OCoLC)992507652(DE-B1597)9783110203349(Perlego)1159154(EXLCZ)99100000000069788819900416g19899999 uy 0gerur|n|---|||||txtccrWorterbucher ein internationales Handbuch zur Lexikographie /herausgegeben von Franz Josef Hausmann ...
