Reviews for Open Borders: The Case Against Immigration Controls
"'A very impressive achievement.' Ann Dummett, founder, Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants; 'Teresa Hayter has written a formidably comprehensive book on the history, mechanisms, & debates surrounding immigration controls in Britain... The crux of Hayter's argument is that immigration controls do not, will not, & should not work... essential reading.' Red Pepper"
