Canada's population estimates: Age and sex, July 1, 2019
Statistics Canada, September 30, 2019
https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/190930/dq190930a-eng.htm
Excerpt:
Canada posts the largest annual population increase in numbers
Canada's population was estimated at 37,589,262 on July 1, 2019, up 531,497 compared with July 1, 2018. Such an annual increase in the number of people living in the country is the highest ever observed. This growth also corresponds to adding just over one person every minute.
. . .
Permanent and temporary immigration accelerating growth
Canada's sustained population growth is driven mostly (82.2%) by the arrival of a large number of immigrants and non-permanent residents. The difference between births and deaths accounted for a small portion (17.8%) of the growth, a share that is decreasing year after year.
Canada admitted 313,580 immigrants in 2018/2019, one of the highest levels in Canadian history. In 2015/2016, Canada received 323,192 permanent immigrants, including nearly 30,000 Syrian refugees.
The number of non-permanent residents rose by 171,536 in 2018/2019, the largest increase in the country's history. While also fuelled by rapid growth in asylum claimants, this gain was mainly led by an increase in the number of work and study permit holders. Temporary immigration assists Canada in meeting its labour market needs.

Excerpt:
Australia's population grew by 1.6 per cent during the year ending 31 March 2019, according to the latest figures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).
ABS Demography Director Beidar Cho said: "The population at 31 March 2019 was 25.3 million people, following an annual increase of 388,800 people."
Natural increase accounted for 35.8 per cent of annual population growth, while net overseas migration accounted for the remaining 64.2 per cent.
There were 298,100 births and 159,100 deaths registered in Australia during the year ending 31 March 2019. Natural increase during this period was 139,100 people, down 2.2 per cent from the previous year.
There were 534,700 overseas migration arrivals and 285,100 departures during the year ending 31 March 2019, resulting in net overseas migration of 249,700 people. Net overseas migration was up 4.9 per cent compared to the previous year.

2018 Census population and dwelling counts
Statistics New Zealand, September 22, 2019
https://www.stats.govt.nz/information-releases/2018-census-population-and-dwelling-counts
Excerpt:
Results of the 2018 Census showed:
The 2018 Census usually resident population count was 4,699,755 – up 457,707 from the 2013 Census (4,242,048).
On average, the population grew by about 2.1 percent a year since the 2013 Census – significantly higher than the annual average growth between 2006 and 2013 (0.7 percent). The higher growth rate is consistent with higher net migration (259,000 in the five years ended 30 June 2018 compared with 59,000 in the seven years ended 30 June 2013).

The Supreme Court Goes to War
By Edwin Meese III and Charles Stimson
The Heritage Foundation, September 24, 2019
https://www.heritage.org/courts/report/the-supreme-court-goes-war
Excerpt:
Immigration and National Security
Another aspect of judicial involvement in national security involves the issue of immigration, and in particular the travel ban cases during the Trump Administration. The President’s executive order included a finding that immigrant and nonimmigrant entry into the United States by aliens from seven countries “would be detrimental to the interests of the United States” and ordered suspension of entry for nationals from those countries for 90 days. It also directed the Secretary of State to suspend the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program for 120 days (with exceptions on a case-by-case basis) and suspended indefinitely the entry of Syrian refugees.
Traditionally, immigration policy is an area in which both the Supreme Court and inferior courts have held that the courts must defer to the political judgment of the President and Congress. Courts have distinguished between two groups of aliens: those who are present within our borders and those seeking admission.
After proceedings in the courts, and despite a revised executive order, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals essentially struck down President Trump’s travel ban. However, as 9th Circuit Court Judge Jay Bybee made clear in a dissent from the denial of reconsideration en banc, which was joined by four other judges, the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 delegated authority to the President to suspend entry of “any class of aliens” as he deems appropriate. It reads in part:
Whenever the President finds that the entry of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry any restrictions he may deem appropriate.
Bybee made clear that the “appropriate test for judging executive and congressional action affecting aliens who are outside our borders and seeking admission is set forth in Kleindienst v. Mandel.” In Mandel, the government denied a visa to a Marxist journalist who had been invited to address conferences at some universities in the United States. The Supreme Court found that Mandel was “an unadmitted and nonresident alien, [who] had no constitutional right of entry,” and declined to revisit the principle that the political branches may decide whom to admit and whom to exclude. Despite the logical relevance of this case law, the ruling of the panel of the 9th Circuit gave short shrift to Mandel because it “involved only a decision by a consular officer, not the President.”
After pointing out the absurdity of giving deference to a consular officer yet none to the President, the dissenters also pointed out how the panel ignored the Supreme Court’s decisions in Fiallo v Bell and Kerry v Din and even prior 9th Circuit precedent. Bybee concluded: “It is our duty to say what the law is; and the meta-source of our law, the U.S. Constitution, commits the power to make foreign policy, including the decisions to permit or forbid entry into the United States, to the President and Congress.”

Book Description: This book offers a systematic exploration of the changing politics around immigration and the impact of resultant policy regimes on immigrant communities. It does so across a uniquely wide range of policy areas: immigration admissions, citizenship, internal immigration controls, labour market regulation, the welfare state and the criminal justice system. Challenging the current state of theoretical literature on the ‘criminalisation’ or ‘marginalisation’ of immigrants, this book examines the ways in which immigrants are treated differently in different national contexts, as well as the institutional factors driving this variation. To this end, it offers data on overall trends across 20 high-income countries, as well as more detailed case studies on the UK, Australia, the USA, Germany, Italy and Sweden. At the same time, it charts an emerging common regime of exploitation, which threatens the depiction of some countries as more inclusionary than others.
The politicisation of immigration has intensified the challenge for policy-makers, who today must respond to populist calls for restrictive immigration policy whilst simultaneously heeding business groups’ calls for cheap labour and respecting legal obligations that require more liberal and welcoming policy regimes. The resultant policy regimes often have counterproductive effects, in many cases marginalising immigrant communities and contributing to the growth of underground and criminal economies. Finally, developments on the horizon, driven by technological progress, threaten to intensify distributional challenges. While these will make the politics around immigration even more fraught in coming decades, the real issue is not immigration but the loss of good jobs, which will have serious implications across all Western countries.
This book will appeal to scholars and students of criminology, social policy, political economy, political sociology, the sociology of immigration and race, and migration studies.

Migration
By Robin Cohen
Andre Deutsch Ltd, 224 pp.
Hardcover, ISBN: 0233005978, $21.21
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0233005978/centerforimmigra
Book Description: While recognizing that distinctions between categories are often fuzzy, Migration covers many types of migrants including explorers, slaves, pilgrims, mineworkers, labourers, exiles, refugees, sex workers, students, tourists, retirees and expatriates. Cohen covers a long span of history and many regions and themes, giving context and colour to one of the most pressing issues of our time. The text is supplemented by a series of vivid maps, evocative photographs and powerful graphics. Migration is present at the dawn of human history - the phenomena of hunting and gathering, seeking seasonal pasture and nomadism being as old as human social organization itself. The flight from natural disasters, adverse climatic changes, famine, and territorial aggression by other communities or other species were also common occurrences. But if migration is as old as the hills, why is it now so politically sensitive? Why do migrants leave? Where do they go, in what numbers and for what reasons? Do migrants represent a threat to the social and political order? Are they none-the-less necessary to provide labour, develop their home countries, increase consumer demand and generate wealth? Can migration be stopped? All these questions are probed in an authoritative text by one of Britain's leading migration scholars.

The Guarded Gate: Bigotry, Eugenics, and the Law That Kept Two Generations of Jews, Italians, and Other European Immigrants Out of America
By Daniel Okrent
Scribner, 496 pp.
Hardcover, ISBN: 1476798036, $22.30
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1476798036/centerforimmigra
Kindle, 53142 KB, ASIN: B07MKDJP4Z, 497 pp., $14.99
Book Description: A forgotten, dark chapter of American history with implications for the current day, The Guarded Gate tells the story of the scientists who argued that certain nationalities were inherently inferior, providing the intellectual justification for the harshest immigration law in American history. Brandished by the upper class Bostonians and New Yorkers—many of them progressives—who led the anti-immigration movement, the eugenic arguments helped keep hundreds of thousands of Jews, Italians, and other unwanted groups out of the US for more than 40 years.
Over five years in the writing, The Guarded Gate tells the complete story from its beginning in 1895, when Henry Cabot Lodge and other Boston Brahmins launched their anti-immigrant campaign. In 1921, Vice President Calvin Coolidge declared that “biological laws” had proven the inferiority of southern and eastern Europeans; the restrictive law was enacted three years later. In his characteristic style, both lively and authoritative, Okrent brings to life the rich cast of characters from this time, including Lodge’s closest friend, Theodore Roosevelt; Charles Darwin’s first cousin, Francis Galton, the idiosyncratic polymath who gave life to eugenics; the fabulously wealthy and profoundly bigoted Madison Grant, founder of the Bronx Zoo, and his best friend, H. Fairfield Osborn, director of the American Museum of Natural History; Margaret Sanger, who saw eugenics as a sensible adjunct to her birth control campaign; and Maxwell Perkins, the celebrated editor of Hemingway and Fitzgerald. A work of history relevant for today, The Guarded Gate is an important, insightful tale that painstakingly connects the American eugenicists to the rise of Nazism, and shows how their beliefs found fertile soil in the minds of citizens and leaders both here and abroad.

Border Wars: Inside Trump's Assault on Immigration
By Julie Hirschfeld Davis and Michael D. Shear
Simon & Schuster, 480 pp.
Hardcover, ISBN: 1982117397, $28.00
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1982117397/centerforimmigra
Paperback, ISBN: 1982135778, 320 pp., $18.00
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1982135778/centerforimmigra
Kindle, ASIN: B07P5GVZGK, $14.99
Book Description: As his campaign rhetoric in the 2018 midterms demonstrated, no issue matters more to Donald Trump than immigration. And no issue—with the possible exception of his opposition to Robert Mueller’s investigation of his 2016 campaign—better defines his administration.
Julie Hirschfeld Davis and Michael D. Shear have covered the Trump administration from its earliest days. In Border Wars, they take readers inside the White House to document how Trump and his allies blocked asylum-seekers and refugees, separated families, threatened deportation and sought to erode the longstanding bipartisan consensus that immigration and immigrants make positive contributions to America.
As the authors reveal, Trump has used immigration to stoke fears (“the caravan”), attack Democrats and the courts, and distract from negative news and political difficulties. Even as illegal immigration has fallen in recent years, Trump has elevated it in the imaginations of many Americans into a national crisis. Moreover, his comments about legal immigrants—Nigerians in their “huts,” Haitians infected with AIDS, and people from “@#$%hole countries”—have been incendiary.
Border Wars identifies the players behind Trump’s anti-immigration policies, showing how they planned, stumbled, and fought their way toward major immigration changes that have further polarized the nation. This definitive, behind-the-scenes account is filled with previously unreported stories that reveal how Trump’s decision-making is driven by gut instinct and marked by disorganization, paranoia, and a constantly feuding staff.

The Windrush Betrayal: Exposing the Hostile Environment
By Amelia Gentleman
Guardian Faber Publishing, 384 pp.
Hardcover, ISBN: 1783351845, $20.03
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1783351845/centerforimmigra
Book Description: Paulette Wilson had always assumed she was British. She had spent most of her life in London working as a cook; she even worked in the House of Commons’ canteen. How could someone who had lived in England since being a primary school pupil suddenly be classified as an illegal immigrant? It was only through Amelia Gentleman’s tenacious investigative and campaigning journalism that it emerged that thousands were in Paulette’s position. What united them was that they had all arrived in the UK from the Commonwealth as children in the 1950s and 1960s. In The Windrush Betrayal, Gentleman tells the story of the scandal and exposes deeply disturbing truths about modern Britain.
