See David Felix , 'International Factor Migration', in Bert F. Hoselitz (ed.), Economics and the Idea of Mankind (New York and London , Columbia University Press, 1965 ), for a critical discussion of the treatment of international labour migration in nineteenth and twentieth century economic theory and economic policy. Felix argues that orthodox economic theory neglects to follow through the implications because of nationalistic interests, and later adaptations concentrate on the benefits of international trade and minimize the benefits of factor mobility.

David Felix 'International Factor Migration', op. cit., p. 125. The UNESCO conference of academic and government experts on immigration reported in W. D. Borrie Cultural Integration of Immigrants (Paris, UNESCO, 1959), rejected laissez faire immigration and advocated that the numbers and types of immigrants be limited to ensure easy integration. Concern not to disturb the domestic labour market or arouse anti-foreign feelings leads to skilled and educated migrants but not the unskilled being recommended. Existing immigration policies giving preference to highly skilled people are thus legitimated by expert opinion. The recommendations of the UNESCO conference are accepted for instance by Sheila Patterson , Immigrants in Industry ( London, Oxford University Press for the I.R.R., 1968), p. 233.
