Migration Policy Institute PodcastsMigration amid Climate Change: Adaptation, Displacement, and People Trapped in PlaceClimate change is driving and altering migration in a variety of ways. Patterns of human movement often differ in the face of fast-moving environmental disasters such as floods and wildfires, versus slow-onset changes including extreme heat, drought, and sea-level rise. Other factors, including the resilience of a community’s infrastructure and their dependence on agricultural livelihoods, can help determine whether, when, and how people migrate.
At the same time, leaving home can be a way for individuals to adapt to a more precarious climate. The money that migrants earn and send back can help families and communities inv...

Buffeted by displacement crises, economic dislocation, and changing migrant demographics, Latin America and the Caribbean have seen migration become one of the most pressing issues of our time. And while movement from the region toward the United States has dominated much of the public discourse, in fact, most migrants from the region remain within Latin America and the Caribbean.
How are these countries responding to this new reality?

North Capital ForumRay of Light: Collaborative Migration Policies in North AmericaHosted by the Migration Policy Institute + International Organization for Migration (IOM UN)
This panel explored how strengthened collaboration between governments and international organizations can enhance and expand labor mobility pathways. These pathways offer a dual benefit: addressing labor shortages across skill levels and attracting new talent while safeguarding migrant rights. However, North American governments face significant challenges in managing migration pressures, impacting access to skilled labor and regional competitiveness. Panelists discussed the obstacles and strategies to ensure these pathways support humane and orderly migration, benefiting migrants, the economy, and society.

New Thinking for a New World - a Tallberg Foundation PodcastSpring MigrationsAndrew Selee of the Migration Policy Institute advocates for rational migration policies benefiting all.
Mass migration is once again in the headlines around the world. This is less because of the numbers of people on the move than because it is an intensely political year—and fear of migrants is grist for politicians’ fear-mongering. The United States is the exception where both apply.
In a world of increasing conflict, weak economic growth, and populist bombast it is easy to blame migrants. And then to tighten asylum policies, pay departure countries to disrupt travel, find supposedly “safe haven” countrie...

The New BazaarImmigration and the border: the real storyWhen people talk about the crisis at the border between the US and Mexico, what specifically are they referring to?The Department of Homeland Security keeps track of a statistic called “border encounters” at the US border with Mexico. This includes primarily the large number of people who try to cross the border without documentation, or illegally, and aren't crossing at a formal port of entry. It also includes people who do try to cross the border at a port of entry but who are then found not eligible to be admitted into the US.

What the Hell Is Going OnWTH is Going On with Title 42? Andrew Selee on our Broken Immigration SystemThis Thursday, the COVID-era immigration policy Title 42 will expire. Initiated by the Trump administration, it allowed for the expulsion of migrants at the border under a public health directive. It lifts as numbers of encounters at the border continue to skyrocket – instances grew from 646,822 in 2020 to 2,766 in 2022, and have already surpassed 1.544 million this year. These are staggering and historic numbers. Border Patrol cannot handle the sheer quantity, processing centers are overrun and inefficient, legitimate asylum seekers and migrants are being delayed access for years while the US government attempts to handle the illegal entries. Title 42 was not meant to be...
