Immigration divides our globalising world like no other issue. We are swamped by bogus asylum-seekers & infiltrated by terrorists, our jobs stolen, our benefit system abused, our way of life destroyed
- or so we are told. Philippe Legrain, author of the critically acclaimed OPEN WORLD, has written the first book that looks beyond the headlines. Why are ever-rising numbers of people from poor countries arriving in Europe, North America & Australasia? Can we keep them out? Should we even be trying? Combining compelling first-hand reporting from around the world, incisive socio-economic analysis & a broad understanding of what is at stake politically & culturally, IMMIGRANTS is a passionate, but lucid book. In our open world, more people will inevitably move across borders, Legrain says
- & we should generally welcome them. They do the jobs we can`t or won`t do
- & their diversity enriches us all. Left & right; free-marketeers & campaigners for global justice; enlightened patriots
- all should rally behind the cause of freer migration, because They need Us & We need Them.
