	Immigration Policy Immigration law includes the national statutes, regulations, and legal precedents governing immigration into and deportation from a country. Strictly speaking, it is distinct from other matters such as naturalization and citizenship, although they are sometimes conflated. Countries frequently maintain laws that regulate both the rights of entry and exit as well as internal rights, such as the duration of stay, freedom of movement, and the right to participate in commerce or government. Variation Immigration laws vary around the world and throughout history, according to the social and political climate of the place and time, as the acceptance of immigrants sways from the widely inclusive to the deeply nationalist and isolationist. National laws regarding the immigration of citizens of that country are regulated by international law. The United Nations' International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights mandates that all countries allow entry to their own citizens. This princ ...

	Open Immigration Free migration or open immigration is the position that people should be able to migrate to whatever country they choose with few restrictions. Distinction from freedom of movement From a Human rights, human-rights perspective, free migration may be distinguished from Freedom of movement enshrined in Article 13 of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights: # Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each State. # Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country. Spiritual perspectives on migration Through numerous situations and encounters, immigration can be a test of mental fortitude rather than physical ability. In Buddhism, a bodhisattva is considered to be a guide to awakening and to the Pure Lands. "The Buddha declares that we are all bodhisattvas destined to attain full Awakening. It seems that each of us, then, is engaged in 'spiritual immigration'. The Buddha asserts that everyone is a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Immigration Reform In The United States Reforming the immigration policy of the United States is a subject of political discourse and contention. Immigration has played an essential part in American history, as except for the Native Americans, everyone in the United States is descended from people who migrated to the United States. Some claim that the United States maintains the world's most liberal immigration policy. Illegal immigration is extremely controversial in the United States, receiving much attention in recent decades yet yielding little legislative consensus or action. Since the failure of the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013, no significant immigration reform legislation has been enacted. As of 2022, the DACA program is prohibited from adding new beneficiaries but has not been ended or struck down due to the Supreme Court's 2020 decision in Department of Homeland Security v. Regents of the University of California. Background In the United States of Ame ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Immigration Reform In The United Kingdom Immigration reform in the United Kingdom is a term used in political discussion regarding changes to the current immigration policy of the United Kingdom. In the United Kingdom, the Strangers into Citizens campaign has been supported by the Liberal Democrats. Labour MP John McDonnell, the IPPR (a Labour-leaning think-tank) and Boris Johnson (the Conservative Prime minister) have also backed selective amnesty for illegal immigrants. The Liberal Democrat proposal would regularise the status of illegal immigrants who have lived in the country for at least ten years and who do not have a criminal record. Advocates have argued that bringing such individuals (estimates range from 300,000 to 800,000) into the legal economy would raise tax revenue, save on policing expenses, and reduce expenditures on deportation.Kelly, Charle"UK immigrant amnesty ‘worth £3bn’ say LSE"''Immigration Matters'', 16 June 2009.
