Open Borders: The Science and Ethics of Immigration
By Bryan Caplan and Zach Weinersmith
First Second, 256 pp.
Hardcover, ISBN: 1250316979, $27.99
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1250316979/centerforimmigra
Paperback, ISBN: 1250316960, $13.99
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1250316960/centerforimmigra
Kindle, ASIN: B07YRKYKZ3, $9.99
Book Description: American policy-makers have long been locked in a heated battle over whether, how many, and what kind of immigrants to allow to live and work in the country. Those in favor of welcoming more immigrants often cite humanitarian reasons, while those in favor of more restrictive laws argue the need to protect native citizens.
But economist Bryan Caplan adds a new, compelling perspective to the immigration debate: He argues that opening all borders could eliminate absolute poverty worldwide and usher in a booming worldwide economy―greatly benefiting humanity.
With a clear and conversational tone, exhaustive research, and vibrant illustrations by Zach Weinersmith, Open Borders makes the case for unrestricted immigration easy to follow and hard to deny.

Calais and its Border Politics: From Control to Demolition
By Yasmin Ibrahim and Anita Howarth
Routledge, 130 pp.
Hardcover, ISBN: 1138049166, $53.67
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1138049166/centerforimmigra
Paperback, ISBN: 0367820994, 120 pp., $47.95
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0367820994/centerforimmigra
Kindle, 1607 KB, ASIN: B07BL572XB, $25.00
Book Description: Calais has a long history of transient refugee settlements and is often narrated through the endeavour to ‘sanitize’ it by both the English and the French in their policy and media discourses. Calais and its Border Politics encapsulates the border politics of Calais as an entry port through the refugee settlements known as the ‘Jungle’. By deconstructing how the jungle is a constant threat to the civilisation and sanity of Calais, the book traces the story of the jungle, both its revival and destruction as a recurrent narrative through the context of border politics. The book approaches Calais historically and through the key concept of the camp or the ‘jungle’ - a metaphor that becomes crucial to the inhuman approach to the settlement and in the justifications to destroy it continuously. The demolition and rebuilding of Calais also emphasises the denigration of humanity in the border sites.
The authors offer a comprehensive insight into the making and unmaking of one of Europe’s long-standing refugee camps. The book explores the history of refugee camps in Calais and provides an insight into its representation and governance over time. The book provides an interdisciplinary perspective, employing concepts of space making, human form and corporeality, as well as modes of representation of the ‘Other’ to narrate the story of Calais as a border space through time, up to its recent representations in the media.
This book’s exploration of the representation and governance of the contentious Calais camps will be an invaluable resource to students and scholars of forced migration, border politics, displacement, refugee crisis, camps and human trauma.

Lost in Media: Migrant Perspectives and the Public Sphere
By Ismail Einashe and Thomas Roueche
Valiz, 168 pp.
Paperback, ISBN: 9492095688, $25.00
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/9492095688/centerforimmigra
Book Description: This volume gathers critical responses to the representations of migrants in the media in Europe through nine essays by prominent writers, artists and journalists. The starting point is the assertion that migrants may have entered European countries, but they have not yet entered the public sphere. When they do, it is as characters in other people's stories: they are spoken about but rarely spoken to, pointed at but rarely heard. If migrants and refugees are to become fully recognized citizens of Europe, they need to be participants in public debate.
Lost in Media features essays by Tania Bruguera, Moha Gerehou, Aleksandar Hemon, Lubaina Himid, Dawid Krawczyk, Antonija Letinic, Nesrine Malik, Nadifa Mohamed, Ece Temelkuran, Daniel Trilling, Menno Weijs and André Wilkens; and visual contributions by Roda Abdalle, Tania Bruguera, Jillian Edelstein, Moha Gerehou, Lubaina Himid, Jade Jackman, Jacob Lawrence and Antonija Letinic.

Migration, Borders and Citizenship: Between Policy and Public Spheres
By Maurizio Ambrosini, Manlio Cinalli, and David Jacobson
Palgrave Macmillan, 309 pp.
Hardcover, ISBN: 3030221563, $113.99
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/3030221563/centerforimmigra
Kindle, 4878 KB, ASIN: B07WWBCMQM, $76.49
Book Description: This edited collection goes beyond the limited definition of borders as simply dividing lines across states, to uncover another, yet related, type of division: one that separates policies and institutions from public debate and contestation.
Bringing together expertise from established and emerging academics, it examines the fluid and varied borderscape across policy and the public domains. The chapters encompass a wide range of analyses that covers local, national and transnational frameworks, policies and private actors. In doing so, Migration, Borders and Citizenship reveals the tensions between border control and state economic interests; legal frameworks designed to contain criminality and solidarity movements; international conventions, national constitutions and local migration governance; and democratic and exclusive constructions of citizenship.
This novel approach to the politics of borders will appeal to sociologists, political scientists and geographers working in the fields of migration, citizenship, urban geography and human rights; in addition to students and scholars of security studies and international relations.

IMMIGRATION
Central Americans, Politics
A record 390,308 people traveling as families entered the US illegally in the first nine months of FY19, plus 63,624 unaccompanied children under 18.

DHS: CBP, ICE, USCIS
American Community Survey data estimate that the US had 45 million foreign-born residents in 2018, making immigrants 13.7 percent of US residents. Almost half of these immigrants were naturalized US citizens, and a quarter were unauthorized.
Border. CBP apprehended 104,344 foreigners just inside US borders in June 2019, down 28 percent from over 144,278 in May 2019. Apprehensions fell to 94,908 in July 2018, including 42,566 family units and 5,561 unaccompanied minors, and fell further to 60,000 in August 2019.

H-2A; H-2B
The H-2A program continues to expand. Over 206,000 farm jobs were certified to be filled with H-2A workers during the first three quarters of FY19, up seven percent from 193,000 in FY18. Most jobs are certified between January and June: two-thirds of the total 243,000 jobs certified in FY18 were certified in the first two quarters of the year.
The Department of Labor certified 171,000 H-2A jobs between January and June 2019, which suggests that total certifications for FY19 could top 255,000. The growth in the H-2A program may be slowing. The increase in third-quarter applications over 2018 was the slowest in five years.

Canada, Mexico
Canada has one of the world's highest rates of immigration and one of the largest shares of guest workers in its labor force, including foreign students who may work 20 hours a week while studying and work full time during school breaks. Canada admitted 400,000 foreign students in 2018.
Canada has an international mobility program akin to other countries' working holiday-maker programs that permits foreigners to work for two years in Canada. Some 250,000 international mobility migrants were admitted in 2018.

Europe, Asia
A March 2016 EU-Turkey agreement commits Turkey to accept the return of migrants who leave Turkey's western coast and arrive illegally on nearby Greek islands. For each migrant returned from Greece to Turkey, the EU accepts one refugee waiting in Turkey for resettlement. Migrants who are returned from Greece go to the back of the line for resettlement.
In October 2015, some 6,000 migrants a day went by boat from Turkey to nearby Greek islands, a total of 210,000 during the month. The outflow of migrants almost stopped after the EU-Turkey agreement, but climbed 12,000 in September 2019, including some days when 500 migrants arrived on Greek islands. Most are from Afghanistan, Syria and Congo.
One reason for more migrants arriving on Greek islands is that fewer than 2,000 migrants have been returned from Greek islands to Turkey since March 2016.

Global Migration, Population
. . .
By some estimates, at least a quarter of migrants "fail" and return to their home countries. Some are returned by the International Organization for Migration, an intergovernmental organization funded that offers free transport home and sometimes re-integration services. IOM wants to avoid offering too many re-integration services for fear of creating a magnet for people to try and fail in migration in order to get ahead at home.
