The U.S. Immigration Laws - a Debate

Overview

Immigration issues occupy the center stage at regional, national, and international level. It is not a new phenomenon, in fact is as old as humanity itself. It has become increasingly a key feature of the Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization [LPG] since the 1990s, and a major part of everyday life in various countries. Over the last 35 years, the number of persons living outside their country of birth has more than doubled to stand today at over 175 million people. Worldwide, approximately, one out of every 35 persons is an immigrant.
