The picture these figures paint is consistent with the reality reported
from the field: the old

entire families migrating
together. |

The Hidden Lifeline for Afghans: Remittances |
Globally, remittances to low- and middle- income countries totaled $656
billion in 2023 – far exceeding the $256
billion in official development assistance. These funds go beyond meeting immediate
needs; they enable families to
rebuild their lives and navigate long-term uncertainties. In fragile contexts, where
traditional support systems are
weakened or nonexistent, remittances fill critical gaps that official aid cannot reach.

The overlooked complexities behind African migration |
Few of those narratives, however, examine the nature of migration where
it begins, rarely taking
the perspectives of people wishing to leave their homes into account, and how much they
truly leave behind. Hardi
Yakubu from the pan-African activism movement Africans Rising says destination countries
should appreciate these
contributions to their economies, refrain from alienating foreigners, and also remember
that the economic benefits
migrants bring would have remained in their home countries if they had never left. |

Mass deportation is either bluster or vast danger |
The further Trump ramps up this effort, the higher the cost.
Undocumented immigrants account for
23% of construction labor, the Center for American Progress estimated in 2021. That
rises to 44% for agricultural
workers, according to a survey for the Department of Labor. Expelling them would tighten
employment markets, stoking
inflation, and suck demand out of the economy. Deporting 1.3 million people could reduce
GDP by 1.2% and hike
consumer prices by 1.5% by 2028, |

Trump shuts down US-Mexico border for asylum seekers, leaving migrants
in limbo |
It’s a rare combination of two policies — one from former President Joe
Biden and other from Trump
— that have nearly sealed off the US southern border to asylum seekers. With refugee
admissions also set to be
suspended, there are few, if any, avenues available to people seeking refuge in the
United States. |

Undocumented Women Ask: Will My Unborn Child Be a Citizen? |
On his first day in office, President Trump issued an order that seeks
to end birthright
citizenship for children born in the United States to undocumented immigrants. That
right has been enshrined in the
Constitution for more than 160 years, and experts say that stripping it away would
require a constitutional
amendment. |
