Abstract
This chapter examines the theory of declining sovereignty and pervasive restrictionism in the politics of immigration in Western nations. It is argued that the situation is not grave as it seems despite numerous obstacles to immigration control. In fact, state control of migration is increasing rather than decreasing over time. It cites the need to disaggregate this highly complex policy arena and develop particularized generalizations about each component of overall immigration policy.Keywords
