Abstract
The regulation of international migration in Europe and elsewhere has created the possibility for unauthorized immigration (Miller, 1995). The control of what is more commonly referred to as illegal immigration has become a central issue of politics and public policy in the advanced industrial democracies over the last decade. Although it is very hard to quantify the scale of illegal immigration, there has been a growing convergence between these countries in terms of the tightening of policy to control these migration flows, and in terms of increasingly negative public reactions to them (Cornelius et al., 1994).
