Document Summary
Understand the relationship between globalization, internal migration & human trafficking/smuggling. Appreciate the human rights dimension of international migratory flows. Map: visual representation of all the unstable countries - people emigrate to leave to the more stable ones, only 3% of the global population is on the move (not as much as expected) 640 million would like to migrate permanently (gallup: like to but often cannot due to immigration restrictions or lack of financial means. 23% wish to migrate to the us as their preferred destination: approximately 1 million receive legal permanent resident status in the us (dhs) Due to restrictions only a certain few have the means to be accepted: supporting documents and financial competence are needed to be granted legal residence. Why do individuals migrate internationally: job opportunities, disasters, political refugees, education. Forced vs voluntary: refugees and victims are granted asylum, whereas people seeking better opportunities would be considered for visas and legal residence.
