Scholars have yet to incorporate the phenomenon of growing conflict between states over population movements into their understanding of international migration and international relations. This article advances and analyzes three propositions: (1) relations between states are influenced by their actions or inactions vis-a-vis international migration; (2) governments affect international migration through their rules for the exit and entry of peoples; and (3) international migrants often become a political force in the country in which they reside. A fourth idea is proposed namely that the internationalization of migration issues has introduced new and conflicting interests into consideration of policies affecting migration in both sending and receiving countries.
