Image by Bearman2007 via FlickrEscape from poverty (personal or for relatives staying behind) is a traditional push factor, the availability of jobs is the related pull factor.
The main problem with push-and-pull theories is three-fold: first, they state the obvious,second, they are unable to explain the emergence of migrant flows, third, they are unable to explain the stability of the emerging patterns of migration.
For some migrants, education is the primary pull factor.
Non-economic push factors include persecution (religious and otherwise), frequent abuse, bullying, oppression, ethnic cleansing and even genocide, and risks to civilians during war. Political motives traditionally motivate refugee flows—to escape dictatorship for instance.

( An absolute posse of organizations promote penning up of people by borders : institutional suppression of free movement. This is an interesting condition for a nation founded on immigration which continually claims to promote freedom. )

Anti-Immigration Groups
http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-report/browse-all-issues/2001/spring/blood-on-the-border/anti-immigration-
Behind the recent upswing in anti-immigration activism are an array of groups, including the 10 listed here. Most of these groups regularly work together, and their leaders frequently hold cross-memberships in several organizations at once. Some of the groups have clear ties to openly racist organizations, and even some of those that don't still espouse thinly disguised bigotry.
In the eyes of most of these groups, immigrants (typically, non-white immigrants) are responsible for nearly all the country's ills, from poverty and inner city decay to crime, urban sprawl and environmental degradation.
Many of them also believe there is a secret a plot by the Mexican government and American Hispanics to wrest the Southwest away from the United States in order to create "Aztlan," a Hispanic nation. Only four of the 10 groups described below are designated as "hate groups" by the Southern Poverty Law Center (see The Year in Hate).
The Naked Emperor: Immigration Cannot Save Social Security

like most of claims of the Open Borders lobby, this one isn't true either.
A new study by economist John Attarian, a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Michigan and a free-lance writer, takes the untruth apart in a new monograph, "Immigration: Wrong Answer for Social Security," available from Americans for Immigration Control.

ETON RIFLES PREPARE MORE MASSACRES FOR THAILAND
http://www.allvoices.com/contributed-news/5678389-eton-rifles-prepare-more-massacres-for-thailand
Eton has a history of expensively educating leaders worldwide many from its ex-colonies, who have ordered the bloody massacres of "restless natives". To order such atrocities you must see the demonized victims as sub-human or second class. That is the ethos of Eton. That is a pattern worldwide of their Eton educated leaders and systemic in the countries they rule, with their "divide and conquer" class education of Eton.
Businesses rush to enroll in E-Verify program

Companies with federal contracts must enroll in E-Verify, an Internet-based system run by the Department of Homeland Security, to check the immigration status of both current workers and prospective hires.
There are 190 organisations in Ireland advocating for immigration (Read here). We are the only organised voice for immigration control.

Referendum on Children's Rights
There is a grave danger that we are about to repeat the mistake of 12 years ago, and put into the constitution measures which will cause us severe difficulties in controlling immigration.
The proposed wording for a referendum on children says the following:
“In the resolution of all disputes concerning the guardianship, adoption, custody, care or upbringing of a child, the welfare and best interests of the child shall be the first and paramount consideration”.
Neighbors in German Capital in Uproar over Iraqi Building

The High Court has overturned a verdict forcing TV2 to disclose its source.
http://politiken.dk/newsinenglish/article955206.ece
The case involves a leak to the media in April 2007 of an impending Danish military operation in Iraq, prior to the operation taking place. The issue became politically toxic as unsubstantiated claims were made that politicians of the Parliamentary Foreign Policy Committee had leaked the information.
At the same time, the Danish forces claimed that the leak had endangered the lives of military personnel due to take part in the impending attack.
Sweden appears prepared to return the oldest Codex Holmiensis to Denmark.
http://politiken.dk/newsinenglish/article955094.ece
The oldest known copy of the Jutland Code (Jyske Lov) – or Codex Holmiensis – may soon be on its way back to Denmark from Sweden if negotiations between Swedish and Danish museum authorities and ministries of culture prove successful.
Signed in 1241 by the Danish King Valdemar II, the codex determined laws to be adhered to in Funen and Jutland and down to the Eider River. The codex preamble states: “With law shall the nation be built”, a phrase visible to this day above the Copenhagen District Courthouse.
The copy in Sweden, termed Codex Holmiensis C37, is not the original document, but said to be the oldest known copy.
Currently at the Kungliga Biblioteket in Stockholm, where it has been for the past 300 years, Sweden has previously declined to return one of Denmark’s most important historical documents, claiming it was taken as war booty in the 17th century.
