Who should be allowed to immigrate and who not? What are the arguments for and against limiting the numbers? We are supposedly a nation of immigrants, and yet our policies reflect deep anxieties and the quirks of short-term self-interest, with effective legislation snagging on thousand-mile-long security fences and the question of how long and arduous the path to citizenship should be. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eExodus\u003c\/em\u003e, Paul Collier, the world-renowned economist and bestselling author of\u003cem\u003e The Bottom Billion\u003c\/em\u003e, clearly and concisely lays out the effects of encouraging or restricting migration.
