This chapter discusses sending states' concerns for the well-being of citizens abroad. Using the concept of transnationalism, I will first discuss the historical evolution of sending's states involvement in emigration decisions and their relations with citizens residing abroad members of the diaspora. Second, focusing on a trend of the literature on "diaspora policies", I will demonstrate that —while sending states most frequently develop economic and political programmes towards citizens— diaspora policies now increasingly include welfare. This, I argue in the third part of the chapter, contributes to transnationalization of welfare. Developing the concept of transnational social protection from below and from above, I show that immigrants' access to social protection goes beyond welfare policies adopted by receiving states but also include numerous sending states policies as well as informal strategies developed by immigrants together with market, community and family actors. Finally, this chapter concludes with a discussion on the implications of sending states involvements in expatriates' welfare for future research on migration. ; Peer reviewed

Reproduces the introduction to an edited collection, More Unequal: Aspects of Class in the United States (2007), which explores capitalism from the perspective of class & class struggle. Here, the key question is how workers develop class consciousness, & it is argued that, in the developed countries, especially the US, nationalism & imperialism impede worker unity. D. Edelman

This ebook consists of a summary of the ideas, viewpoints and facts presented by Darrel Ankarlo in his book 'Another Man's Sombrero: A Conservative Broadcaster's Undercover Journey Across the Mexican Border'. This summary offers a concise overview of the entire book in less than 30 minutes reading time. However this work does not replace in any case Darrel Ankarlo's book.Ankarlo offers an insight of the illegal immigration issue.

In this comparative study of the contemporary politics of deportation in Germany and the United States, Antje Ellermann analyzes the capacity of the liberal democratic state to control individuals within its borders. The book grapples with the question of why, in the 1990s, Germany responded to vociferous public demands for stricter immigration control by passing and implementing far-reaching policy reforms, while the United States failed to effectively respond to a comparable public mandate. Drawing on extensive field interviews, Ellermann finds that these crossnational differences reflect institutionally determined variations in socially coercive state capacity. By tracing the politics of deportation across the evolution of the policy cycle, beginning with anti-immigrant populist backlash and ending in the expulsion of migrants by deportation bureaucrats, Ellermann is also able to show that the conditions underlying state capacity systematically vary across policy stages

In Regulating Low Skilled Immigration in the United States, Gordon H. Hanson contends that efforts to curtail illegal entry will fail unless policymakers design a system that is responsive to market signals that encourage individuals to move from low-wage labor markets in regions such as Central America to the more robust labor market in United States

Special immigrants comprise a category of permanent employment-based admissions under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). While the special immigrant category is unique, it does bear some similarities to other admission categories that are authorized by other sections of the INA, including refugees and Amerasian children. When civil unrest, violence, or natural disasters erupt in spots around the world, concerns arise over the safety of foreign nationals from these troubled places who are in the United States. Provisions exist in the INA to offer temporary protected status (TPS) or reli
