Introduction: Special issue on immigration
At the turn of the new millennium international migration has reached a record high with evergrowing numbers of immigrants, labor migrants and asylum seekers leaving their homelands in search of better employment opportunities, higher economic rewards, safer political conditions and improved living standards. The increased flows of labor migrants and immigrants across the globe have resulted in emergence of new immigrant communities in many countries. The new immigrants not only changed the social, ethnic and demographic fabric of the receiving societies but they have also changed public views toward immigration and immigrants as well as government policies and regulations. Although host countries heavily rely on immigrants as a source of labor and as a means for economic development, immigrants are often viewed as 'foreigners' or 'outsiders' in the host societies and as a major source for social problems and conflict in society. Indeed, questions about immigration and immigrants' place in society have been transformed over the years from labor market and economy related problems to ones of national identity.
