The EU Immigration Policy governs how member states manage the entry and residence of non-EU citizens. It aims to balance the need for security and border control with the benefits of immigration, such as economic growth and cultural diversity. The policy includes regulations on asylum seekers, family reunification, and skilled workers. Member states collaborate on various aspects of immigration, including the Schengen Area, which allows for passport-free travel among many EU countries. Additionally, the Dublin Regulation determines which country is responsible for processing asylum applications, ensuring that individuals receive protection in a timely manner.
