Read Book Review

Global Immigration Crisis by author Dick Sim is solid and enlightening tapestry which explores a number of themes, such as the economic cultures of different continents, the integration of Muslim immigrants in the United States and Europe, and the increasing pressures brought about by immigration on both continents.

Here, Sim explores the current debate in the United States and Europe, which focuses mostly on the touchy and raw subject of immigration limitation, adding that it ignores a crucial factor: the acceptable rate of population growth. The book goes further to recognize that the majority of immigrants seek asylum for economic reasons, with the author asserting crucial decisions regarding population control in those countries are necessary to shield the continents, which are primarily targeted by both legal and illegal immigrants, from preventable economic and cultural crises.

The book is clear with the range of solutions it offers, presented in an accessible and forthright manner. For example, by focusing on religion and the reasons it plays a significant role in deciding whether an asylum seeker is acceptable or unacceptable, Sim uses historical and theological sources to educate his audience about the risks of permitting the number of Muslim immigrants to rise in the US and Europe. Elsewhere, he candidly calls for the true integration of conservative Muslims exclusively, citing security concerns to question the notion that anti-Muslim prejudice is intolerable. Taking a closer look at immigration management, he expertly demonstrates how to deliver foreign aid to underdeveloped countries like Africa, which is where many immigrants come from. The result is painstaking work from a quintessential voice with an optimistic vision.

Further, the text’s exploration of “smart immigration policy,” which emphasizes its commendable implementation in nations including Canada and Australia, is both remarkable and unique. Dick Sim is a master in this genre and demonstrates proper command of the subject matter. Few books discuss compelling universal topics like he has done in this accessible synthesis of information, with many even digressing from their topic of choice and often providing information marked by personal bias and predisposed underpinnings. Not so here, as the chapters, which deftly build on each other, ably link cause and effect.

Global Immigration Crisis by Dick Sim deserves a special place on our shelves. It has the power to bring much-needed attention to overlooked and occasionally disregarded ethical and security issues that wealthy nations are frequently reluctant to acknowledge or openly address. It is an essential read and a strong call to action for decision-makers and anybody else who is dedicated to sustainably resolving the immigration crisis.
