Open Borders and International Migration Policy: The Effects of Unrestricted Immigration in the United States, France, and Ireland - Hardcover

by J. Fetzer (Author)

Although philosophers debate the morality of open borders, few social scientists have explored what would happen if immigration were no longer limited. This book looks at three examples of temporarily unrestricted migration in Miami, Marseille, and Dublin and finds that the effects were much less catastrophic than opponents of immigration claim.
