Preferred term

politics of immigration  

Definition(s)

  • The politics of immigration (entry) are distinct from, but closely related to, the politics of emigration (departure), remigration (return), and migration (movement) and can be defined broadly as the struggle for power related to the entry and permanent settlement of people in a nation-state. As such, a complex amalgamation of frequently divisive and controversial politico-economic and sociocultural issues falls under the vast penumbra of immigration politics, ranging from border control, citizenship, national identity, and national security to labor, language, race, religion, and ethics.
