It's a stubborn fact that more people will want to move to high-income countries than residents will want to admit. But, as Alan Manning - former head of Britain's Migration Advisory Committee - makes clear, that doesn't mean we can't do much better. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e We should start, Manning says, by ditching simplistic views that frame immigration as either wholly good or wholly bad. We will always have and need some level of immigration. But, just as inevitably, we will have rules on who can and cannot immigrate. To set those rules we need reliable evidence to navigate among the often-competing claims of the economy, culture, justice, and democracy. Manning supplies such evidence in abundance, guiding us through cutting-edge international research on key questions, including the effects of immigration on people's lives, their jobs and incomes, taxes and public services, and their communities.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eWhy Immigration Policy Is Hard\u003c\/i\u003e is an indispensable resource for informed debate on one of the most charged subjects in public life today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alan Manning\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1509563652\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509563654\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/27\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Alan Manning","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47931054293247,"sku":"9781509563654","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2b71b2bf-3fff-49a3-b3a4-c0d56f0423eb.jpg?v=1766346131","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/why-immigration-policy-is-hard-alan-manning-9781509563654","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
