This book examines how and why liberalism and human rights have
proven insufficient to protect immigrants. Contemporary immigration
systems are characterized by increasing complexity and expanding
enforcement, and frequently criticized for violating human rights
and for causing death, exclusion and exploitation. The 'migrant
crisis' can also be understood as a crisis of hospitality for
liberal democracies. Through analysis of the immigration histories
and political dynamics of Britain and the US, the book explains how
these two archetypal liberal states have both sought to create a
hostile environment for unwanted immigrants. The book provides a
fresh and original perspective on the development of immigration
systems, showing how they have become subject to the politics of
fear and greed, and revealing how different traditions of
hospitality have evolved, survived, and renewed.
