Scenarios about 'immigration policy'

Immigration policy refers to the laws, regulations, and governmental actions that control the entry and settlement of foreign nationals into a country. These policies have historically reflected tensions between economic needs, humanitarian concerns, cultural attitudes, and security priorities, often changing in response to domestic politics and international events. Immigration frameworks profoundly influence demographic patterns, economic development, and national identity formation in both sending and receiving nations.
