3. **Complexity of Immigration Policy**:
- Immigration policy cannot be reduced to a simple left-right divide. The restrictiveness of immigration policy reforms varies according to the type of policy (border controls, entry, or integration) and the migrant categories targeted (high and low-skilled workers, family members, or asylum seekers)[1][3][5].
- Policies are often influenced by different ideologies, interests, and lobbies, leading to contradictory and incoherent policy outcomes[3][5].
