Persons with foreign born parents more likely to emigrate
Statistics Sweden, March 5, 2020
. . .
[link removed]

Summary: The proportion of persons who emigrate varies based on their parents’ country of birth, and is largest among persons with two foreign born parents. A new report from Statistics Sweden examines certain demographic differences among Swedish born persons based on their parents’ country of birth, with regard to matters such as childbearing, emigration, mortality.

Statistics Sweden produces a projection of Sweden’s population every year. Assumptions are made on the future development of childbearing, migration and mortality among foreign born persons and Swedish born persons. A question at issue concerns whether or not assumptions on the Swedish born population should take into account parents’ country of birth, as a growing number of people have foreign born parents.

Growing number of people with parents born outside Europe

The proportion of newborn infants with at least one foreign born parent more than doubled, from 16 percent to 38 percent, between 1970 and 2018. At the same time, the structure of the group of persons with foreign born parents has changed. The number of persons with parents born in the Nordic countries has declined and the number of persons with parents born in Europe or the rest of the world has increased.

Migration Statistics Quarterly Report: February 2020
U.K. Office of National Statistics, February 27, 2020
. . .
[link removed]

Summary: - 3. Main points
To fully understand long-term international migration trends, we need to consider all available data sources. Throughout this report, we provide our best assessment of migration trends given data availability.

In the year ending September 2019, long-term international migration continued to add to the UK population, as an estimated 240,000 more people moved to the UK with an intention to stay for 12 months or more than left the UK (net migration). Over the year, 642,000 people moved to the UK (immigration) and 402,000 people left the UK (emigration).

Long-term net migration, immigration and emigration have remained broadly stable since the end of 2016. However, there are different patterns for EU and non-EU migration – both overall and by main reason for migration.

Since 2016, there has been a decrease in immigration for work, but recently levels have remained broadly stable. Over the same period, immigration for study has been gradually increasing.

Court grants government’s request to enforce “remain in Mexico” policy
By Amy Howe
SCOTUSblog, March 11, 2020
. . .
[link removed]

Summary: Today the Supreme Court granted the Trump administration’s application for permission to enforce the Migrant Protection Protocols, colloquially known as the “remain in Mexico” policy, while it appeals to the Supreme Court. Announced in December 2018, the policy allows the Department of Homeland Security to return immigrants seeking asylum to Mexico while they wait for deportation proceedings. Justice Sonia Sotomayor was the only justice to note publicly that she would have denied the government’s request.
. . .
In a brief written order this afternoon, the Supreme Court gave the federal government the go-ahead to continue to enforce the policy while it appeals to the Supreme Court and, if the justices grant review, until the justices can hear oral argument and issue their decision on the merits. A spokesperson for the Department of Justice praised the ruling, writing that today’s stay “prevents a district court injunction from impairing the security of our borders and the integrity of our immigration system. The Migrant Protection Protocols, implemented pursuant to express authority granted by Congress decades ago, have been critical to restoring the government’s ability to manage the Southwest border and to work cooperatively with the Mexican government to address illegal immigration.”

Rasmussen Reports Weekly Immigration Index
March 17, 2020
. . .
[link removed]

Excerpt: Similarly consistent from week to week is the 59% who think legal immigrants should only be allowed to bring their spouse and minor children with them. Thirty percent (30%) favor allowing these immigrants to eventually bring in other adult relatives in a process than can include extended family and their spouses’ families which has been U.S. immigration policy for years. Twelve percent (12%) are undecided.

The Census Bureau projects that current immigration policies are responsible for most U.S. population growth and will add 75 million people over the next 40 years. Most voters still want to slow that growth. In terms of the effect on the overall quality of life in the United States, 32% want to continue immigration-driven population growth at the current levels. But 45% favor slowing down immigration-driven population growth, while 13% want to have no such population growth at all. Ten percent (10%) are undecided.

Defend the Border and Save Lives: Solving Our Most Important Humanitarian and Security Crisis
By Tom Homan

Center Street, 272 pp.

Hardcover, ISBN: 1546085939, $28.00
[link removed]

Kindle, 1752 KB, ASIN: B07V1LR763, $14.99

Book Description: Former ICE Director Tom Homan has been at the forefront of the conservative fight to secure our borders and offers proof that illegal immigration is not a victimless crime.

Illegal immigration is the most controversial and emotional issue this country faces today. President Trump was elected on his promise to fix illegal immigration and build a wall on our Southern border. Because he won on this issue, the Democrats refuse to work with him, and we experienced a government shutdown as a result of this divide. The Democrats have supported funding in the past and, in his State of the Union, the President said that he wants to unify and work together to resolve this and all the other challenges facing America. The Democrats sat on their hands. They won't budge. Clearly, as a party, they don't care about the facts, only about denying whatever success they can to this president.

Former ICE Director and Fox News contributor Tom Homan knows the facts. He's spent his life on the border, and knows that if we don't control illegal immigration now, this country will continue to suffer the consequences of crime, drugs and financial strain -- and it will get much much worse.

In Defend the Border and Save Lives, Homan shares what illegal immigration is really about. Illegal immigration should not be a partisan issue. Now is the time to fix this issue that has claimed so many victims and divided this country. We need to pull the curtain back and expose what truly happens and separate facts from fiction. Illegal immigration is not a victimless crime, and the victims are the illegals and their innocent children as well as the Americans who suffer at the hand of the criminals who sneak into this country.

Crisis on the Border: An Eyewitness Account of Illegal Aliens, Violent Crime, and Cartels
By Matt C. Pinsker

Regnery Publishing, 224 pp.

Hardcover, ISBN: 1684510104, $18.89
[link removed]

Kindle, 37512 KB, ASIN: B07YL4CB1T, 234 pp., $12.99

Book Description: Idealistic and eager to serve his country, Army Reservist JAG Captain Matt C. Pinsker volunteer to go to Laredo, Texas, for six months as a federal prosecutor, helping out the short-staffed U.S. Attorney's Office.

What he saw in Laredo changed his life, and his riveting account of the breakdown of law and order will change how you think about border security. Crisis on the Border reveals:

* That drug cartels are in control of the U.S.-Mexican border

* The horrifying viciousness of the criminals who smuggle human beings into the United States

* That drug abuse and disease are rampant among illegal aliens—many of whom have lengthy criminal records

* That routine abuse of the U.S. asylum laws undermines legitimate asylum-seekers

* That U.S. courts are generally more lenient with illegal aliens than they would be with American citizens

* The hypocrisy behind the "children in cages" stories

* Solutions: how to solve the crisis on the border

Earnest, shocking, and revealing, Crisis on the Border is essential for understanding one of the greatest problems confronting our country.

Banned: Immigration Enforcement in the Time of Trump
By Shoba Sivaprasad Wadhia

NYU Press, 216 pp.

Hardcover, ISBN: 1479857467, $30.00
[link removed]

Kindle, 890 KB, ASIN: B07Q5G5S6F, $16.50

Book Description: Within days of taking office, President Donald J. Trump published or announced changes to immigration law and policy. These changes have profoundly shaken the lives and well-being of immigrants and their families, many of whom have been here for decades, and affected the work of the attorneys and advocates who represent or are themselves part of the immigrant community. Banned examines the tool of discretion, or the choice a government has to protect, detain, or deport immigrants, and describes how the Trump administration has wielded this tool in creating and executing its immigration policy.

Banned combines personal interviews, immigration law, policy analysis, and case studies to answer the following questions: (1) what does immigration enforcement and discretion look like in the time of Trump? (2) who is affected by changes to immigration enforcement and discretion?; (3) how have individuals and families affected by immigration enforcement under President Trump changed their own perceptions about the future?; and (4) how do those informed about immigration enforcement and discretion describe the current state of affairs and perceive the future? Shoba Sivaprasad Wadhia pairs the contents of these interviews with a robust analysis of immigration enforcement and discretion during the first eighteen months of the Trump administration and offers recommendations for moving forward.

The story of immigration and the role immigrants play in the United States is significant. The government has the tools to treat those seeking admission, refuge, or opportunity in the United States humanely. Banned offers a passionate reminder of the responsibility we all have to protect America’s identity as a nation of immigrants.

The Global Governed?: Refugees as Providers of Protection and Assistance
By Kate Pincock, Alexander Betts, et al.

Cambridge University Press, 164 pp.

Hardcover, ISBN: 1108494943, $115.00
[link removed]

Paperback, ISBN: 11088167033, $39.00
[link removed]

Kindle, 2195 KB, ASIN: B084SFDB6P, 140 pp., $32.00

Book Description: When refugees flee war and persecution, protection and assistance are usually provided by United Nations organisations and their NGO implementing partners. In camps and cities, the dominant humanitarian model remains premised upon a provider-beneficiary relationship. In parallel to this model, however, is a largely neglected story: refugees themselves frequently mobilise to create organisations or networks as alternative providers of social protection. Based on fieldwork in refugee camps and cities in Uganda and Kenya, this book examines how refugee-led organisations emerge, the forms they take, and their interactions with international institutions. Developing an original theoretical framework based on the concept of 'the global governed', the book shows how power and hierarchy mediate the seemingly benign notion of protection. Drawing upon ideas from anthropology and international relations, it offers an alternative vision for more participatory global governance, of
relevance to other policy-fields including development, humanitarianism, health, peacekeeping, and child protection.

What Do We Owe to Refugees?
By David Owen

Polity, 140 pp.

Hardcover, ISBN: 1509539735, $42.32
[link removed]

Paperback, ISBN: 11509539743, $12.95
[link removed]

Book Description: Who are refugees? Who, if anyone, is responsible for protecting them? What forms should this protection take? In a world of people fleeing from civil wars, state failure, and environmental disasters, these are ethically and politically pressing questions.

In this book, David Owen reveals how the contemporary politics of refuge is structured by two rival historical pictures of refugees. In reconstructing this history, he advocates an understanding of refugeehood that moves us beyond our current impasse by distinguishing between what is owed to refugees in general and what is owed to different types of refugee. He provides an account of refugee protection and the forms of international cooperation required to implement it that is responsive to the claims of both refugees and states.

At a time when refugee protection is once again prominent on the international agenda, this book offers a guide to understanding the challenges this topic raises and shows why addressing it matters for all of us.

Book Description: A leading scholar’s powerful, in-depth look at the imprisonment of immigrants addressing the intersection of immigration and the criminal justice system

For most of America’s history, we simply did not lock people up for migrating here. Yet over the last thirty years, the federal and state governments have increasingly tapped their powers to incarcerate people accused of violating immigration laws. As a result, almost 400,000 people annually now spend some time locked up pending the result of a civil or criminal immigration proceeding.

In Migrating to Prison, leading scholar César Cuauhtémoc García Hernández takes a hard look at the immigration prison system’s origins, how it currently operates, and why. He tackles the emergence of immigration imprisonment in the mid-1980s, with enforcement resources deployed disproportionately against Latinos, and he looks at both the outsized presence of private prisons and how those on the political right continue, disingenuously, to link immigration imprisonment with national security risks and threats to the rule of law.

Interspersed with powerful stories of people caught up in the immigration imprisonment industry, including children who have spent most of their lives in immigrant detention, Migrating to Prison is an urgent call for the abolition of immigration prisons and a radical reimagining of the United States: who belongs and on what criteria is that determination made?

The Undocumented Americans
By Karla Cornejo Villavicencio

Book Description: Writer Karla Cornejo Villavicencio was on DACA when she decided to write about being undocumented for the first time using her own name. It was right after the election of 2016, the day she realized the story she’d tried to steer clear of was the only one she wanted to tell. So she wrote her immigration lawyer’s phone number on her hand in Sharpie and embarked on a trip across the country to tell the stories of her fellow undocumented immigrants—and to find the hidden key to her own.

Looking beyond the flashpoints of the border or the activism of the DREAMers, Cornejo Villavicencio explores the lives of the undocumented—and the mysteries of her own life. She finds the singular, effervescent characters across the nation often reduced in the media to political pawns or nameless laborers. The stories she tells are not deferential or naively inspirational but show the love, magic, heartbreak, insanity, and vulgarity that infuse the day-to-day lives of her subjects.

In New York, we meet the undocumented workers who were recruited into the federally funded Ground Zero cleanup after 9/11. In Miami, we enter the ubiquitous botanicas, which offer medicinal herbs and potions to those whose status blocks them from any other healthcare options. In Flint, Michigan, we learn of demands for state ID in order to receive life-saving clean water. In Connecticut, Cornejo Villavicencio, childless by choice, finds family in two teenage girls whose father is in sanctuary. And through it all we see the author grappling with the biggest questions of love, duty, family, and survival.

In her incandescent, relentlessly probing voice, Karla Cornejo Villavicencio combines sensitive reporting and powerful personal narratives to bring to light remarkable stories of resilience, madness, and death. Through these stories we come to understand what it truly means to be a stray. An expendable. A hero. An American.
