Media misrepresentation, exaggeration of faults but the positives outweigh, population decreasing. Local and state government engage in rhetoric that embodies racism, camouflage. Admitting immigrants in selective ways (greece accepting catholics) Boundaries drawn between those who are allowed to come in, undesirable. Some sort of criteria education is the best way to pick. Potential for discrimination to still come through. School attainment serves as a proxy for other forms of discrimination based on gender, race, class. Use education to draw boundaries between good vs. bad migrants. Gender: variables factor in inequality, see this even more visibly with different applicants, global inequality to access with schooling, concept of skill itself is a gendered concept, points flawed, systematic devaluation of female labour.
