This is the kind of book that you read nodding vigorously and from which you want to read bits aloud. The sad truth is that probably only people who agree with it will read it, or be receptive to its arguments. This books makes the case for immigration, for tearing down the barriers to the free movement of people, on several levels. It not only describes the human toll, in fatalities, exploitation, and just plain suffering, of the people who fight the battle to emigrate; but explores how emigration makes economic sense for both the receiving and sending countries, and tears down the myths and untruths about how Those People Want to Rape Our Wommin and Steal Our Jobs. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
Immigration divides our globalizing world like no other issue. We are swamped by illegal immigrants and infiltrated by terrorists, our jobs stolen, our welfare system abused, our way of life destroyed--or so we are told. At a time when National Guard units are deployed alongside vigilante Minutemen on the U.S.-Mexico border, where the death toll in the past decade now exceeds 9/11's, Philippe Legrain has written the first book about immigration that looks beyond the headlines. Why are ever-rising numbers of people from poor countries arriving in the United States, Europe, and Australia? Can we keep them out? Should we even be trying? Combining compelling firsthand reporting from around the world, incisive socioeconomic analysis, and a broad understanding of what's at stake politically and culturally, Immigrants is a passionate but lucid book. In our open world, more people will inevitably move across borders, Legrain says--and we should generally welcome them. They do the jobs we can't or won't do--and their diversity enriches us all. Left and Right, free marketeers and campaigners for global justice, enlightened patriots--all should rally behind the cause of freer migration, because They need Us and We need Them.
