Paperback very small (with flaps), very good plus condition. 140 pp. Khalid Koser debunks myths such as the claim that migrants take jobs away from local workers, and that they take advantage of the health care system and Western living conditions without returning any benefits of their own. Why has international migration become an issue of such intense public and political concern? How closely linked are migrants with terrorist organizations? Examines the phenomenon of international human migration - both legal and illegal - to reveal that migration actually presents opportunities that are taken advantage of in light of the current economic climate. .

Using interviews with migrants from around the world, the author presents the human side of topics such as asylum and refugees, human trafficking, migrant smuggling, development, and the international labor force. His goal throughout is to allow readers to see beyond the negative spin usually given the subject by the media and politicians, and come to their own conclusions on the current international migration situation. It is a valuable reference for students of economics, politics, geography, or sociology, and for anyone interested in taking a deeper look at media coverage of immigration and its effects.
