| Abstract
|
:
|
Examines the immense surges in immigration, both legal and illegal, in what are traditionally two of the world's most important planned settler receiving countries, Australia and the United States, since the mid-1990s. Australia's shift to a points-based, skills-oriented system is contrasted with the political deadlock that has prevented any basic change in US immigration policy during this period. Focusing on immigration policy trends, effects on labour markets, successes and failures in integrating massive new numbers of immigrants, and the future of multiculturalism, ponders many of the policy dilemmas that confront both countries.
