FMR: the technology issue

The articles in this issue cover positive and negative aspects of the spread of technologies; the increased accountability, and the increased scope for controlling displaced people; the opening up through the internet of possibilities beyond the traditional confines of life as a displaced person, and the risks and dangers that that brings; and the potential in technological advances for assistance and protection programmes.

Thinking beyond the bogeyman: responding to public opinion on immigration

Given that public opinion is such a major driver of political decision-making on immigration, there are a surprising number of craters in detailed understanding of it. It is well-reported that the majority of the public would like to see less immigration to the UK. And policy measures such as the immigration cap and restrictions on family members, students and irregular migrants are all directly aimed at addressing concerns by reducing numbers of migrants.

Conversation with Frank Sharry of America's Voice

Few people know the American immigration reform scene as well as Frank Sharry, first as the Executive Director of the National Immigration Forum and now as founder of America’s Voice.

An advocate for 11 million undocumented immigrants, he calls America’s Voice the “communications war room” for the immigration reform movement. He now sees its future in city mayors, police chiefs and undocumented young people growing up in America.
