Open Borders and International Migration Policy: The Effects of Unrestricted Immigration in the United States, France, and Ireland

This book looks at three examples of temporarily unrestricted migration in Miami, Marseille, and Dublin and finds that the effects were much less catastrophic than opponents of immigration claim.
