Abstract

Immigration laws in several nations have changed recently to make it more challenging for foreign nationals to immigrate. The installation of stronger border controls, visa restrictions, and entry eligibility standards are the main ways that immigration rules have become increasingly restrictive. As a result, prospective immigrants are being scrutinized more closely, visa applications are taking longer to process, and possibilities for talented professionals and students to get visas are becoming more restricted. Many nations have also implemented measures to limit the number of migrants and asylum seekers who can enter their border by implementing changes to programs for resettling refugees and the closing of refugee camps. In general, the trend toward tighter immigration laws has had important impacts on people looking to go abroad as well as on businesses and economies that depend on foreign labor. While there may be good reasons for some immigration limitations, this paper looks at how authorities should take into account how such restrictions may affect both individuals and society as a whole.
