Summary
"Governments around the world are understandably anxious to maintain orderly migration programs in the face of unscrupulous people-smuggling operations. Brennan's new book compares Australia's response with that of the United States and Europe and provides a practical blueprint for countries wanting to humanely protect asylum seekers."--Jacket
