According to Schiller this unequal regulation of migration may have a great deal to do with the strength or weakness of transnational networks. The author explains that in most cases people have strong bonds to their homeland and send a portion of their wages back to relatives that are still in their home countries. In addition immigrants from certain countries in Europe such as Italy have strong support systems and communities in countries such as America when and if they choose to immigrate. In addition, the governments of these countries have good relationships which allows for more relaxed regulations as it pertains to migration and immigration. This support system exist because people have been coming to America from certain countries for centuries as such the support systems for those who migrate from these countries is strong.

Although the authors explain that this type of labor has an effect on local workers who are citizens, the benefits of cheap labor outweigh the costs. Addiitonally, the authors explain that as a result of the need for an immigrant labor pool, migration is the least regulated of movements as it pertains to globalization.

Out of these emotions riots and acts of civil disobedience are likely to occur. To maintain social order many countries discuss the issue but fail to truly regulate migration and for these reasons migration is the least regulated movement.

Perhaps as a short-term measure, but certainly not as a long-term solution. The government argues that the American people are much safer today, because there have been no more terrorist attacks. However, correlation does
Globalization and National Security While the economic benefits of globalization have been frequently discussed, the very serious national security vulnerabilities which have arisen as a result of increase interconnections, both economically and socially, has garnered much less attention. The current literature on globalization either omits national security discussions entirely, or conducts them from a relatively myopic perspective The 2010 National Security Strategy attempts to rectify this, but its seems to have little effect
