The long term

摘要

What will happen to global migration in the next half-century? Whether they think migration is good or bad, experts agree on one thing: that governments are generally failing, or not even trying, to manage it properly. Some would like to see the establishment of a new international body, along the lines of the World Trade Organisation, or give more powers to the un's existing International Organisation for Migration. Others hope to decouple migration policy from party politics. In America, hostility to migrants has been making serious policy reform impossible for nearly two decades.
