title: Immigration:  perspectives from receiving countries.
abstract: The author examines the issue of international migration from the standpoint of receiving countries.  He attempts "to understand how and why migrant-receiving countries respond as they do, and to suggest some of the new issues in international migration that arise in a world in which the supply of would-be migrants and refugees is now greater than receiving countries are willing to accept."
