The Biden administration vowed to “end the illicit movement” of people through the Darién jungle. But the number of migrants moving through the forest has never been greater — and the profits are too big to pass up.

TIM STANLEY:
New York City proves that a generous welfare system encourages mass migration across porous borders, and that this migration then renders the welfare system unsustainable – financially and politically. Immigration undermines classic Left-wing goals, driving voters into the arms of conservatives. In Chicago, a heavily Democrat city, black residents have voiced their objections against a shelter being located in their neighbourhood. They’ve got enough poverty and crime already, they say, and this would be one more source of competition for resources that were scarce to begin with. The New York Times quotes one resident arguing that the very concept of a sanctuary city “is wrong... No one is entitled to anything.”

World Development Report 2023 proposes an integrated framework to maximize the development impacts of cross-border movements on both destination and origin countries and on migrants and refugees themselves. The framework it offers, drawn from labor economics and international law, rests on a “match and motive” matrix that focuses on two factors: how closely migrants’ skills and attributes match the needs of destination countries and what motives underlie their movements. This approach enables policy makers to distinguish between different types of movements and to design migration policies for each. International cooperation will be critical to the effective management of migration.
