US Immigration Reform, Refugee Protection, Netherlands, Country Profiles
The Source's February issue provides a rundown of the key elements of US President George W. Bush's proposal for
immigration reform that could affect the lives of millions of undocumented immigrants. We've paired this with a look at the
experiences of the undocumented population in Belgium. In addition, you will find an outline of the challenges facing NGOs and UNHCR as they attempt to coordinate refugee protection, a look at the migration policies of Chile and Tonga, and updated data from the Netherlands.
Next month, look for our special issue on US-Mexico migration relations, with contributions by Jorge Durand, Wayne Cornelius, Demetrios Papademetriou, Jeff Passel, and Gustavo Mohar.
