Skilled immigration into rich countries and competition for talent
and professional skills are of major concern among nations today.
Comprehensive immigration reform addressed to illegal immigration
predictably foundered in Congress last year. This revived the
question of skilled immigration and was hastily added to the
proposed reform agenda in the hope that it would bring more
pro-immigration troops into battle. Immigration reform still failed
but it will not die. The specific issue of skilled immigration, and
how to redesign it, will remain one of the central issues before
the world community as well.
How important is this phenomenon? How do the legal-immigration
systems of rich countries address this need? How do professional
associations that may find such inflows a threat to their members'
earnings seek to curtail these flows? What are the implications on
the sending countries, which are generally less developed, when
rich countries admit skilled professionals from them? Is it correct
to object that the rich countries are depriving the poor ones of
badly needed professionals (especially in Africa)? What should our
immigration policies be in this regard? How should tax policy, for
example, be changed in light of the growing phenomenon of skilled
migrant flows? These and a host of related policy questions are
addressed uniquely in Skilled Immigration Today. Bhagwati and
Hanson present an informed awareness of the rich historical
analysis of the phenomenon and several policy initiatives already
attempted with sophisticated theoretical analysis. The essays, with
an overview that ties them together, are written by today's
foremost immigration experts.
