Why is it important?
Resettlement policies largely sit outside dominant narrative as outliers in immigration policy. In this chapter we recognise the importance of government-sponsored resettlement schemes but also emphasise their place in the broader, hostile immigration ecosystem.
Perspectives
The inconsistencies in these three ad hoc schemes reflects the political realities of immigration policy and the way in which it serves electoral agendas. The concern is that these schemes are merely outliers and are marginal to the broader, now well-established, hostile attitudes to migrants and forced migrants.
