The importance of looking beyond the border situation

The border situation has been in the eye of the storm since President Biden took office in early 2021. By this, we refer to the surge of illegal border crossings that has taken place since the end of 2020, but which intensified just as the change of administrations took place.

In fact, the situation is more alarming than it appears as border apprehension rates for FY (Fiscal Year) 2021, which ended on September 30, were the highest ever reported, putting the Biden administration in a rather difficult and challenging position.

However, it is imperative to understand that the root cause of irregular migration is far beyond the borders of the US, and is related to inherent conditions in vulnerable territories such as certain Central American countries, which force hundreds of thousands of people to leave their homes in search of better opportunities.

Are there any common variations among countries with high irregular migration rates?

A recent study takes an in-depth look at trends that have taken place throughout history regarding countries with high rates of irregular migration to the US, and the findings are truly surprising.

Let’s look at some important facts:

• Countries such as Mexico and Turkey, which had high rates of irregular migration to the US at some point in history now have stable and mostly legal migration, which shows that irregular migration levels often change from region to region depending on local conditions.
• Usually, irregular migration levels increase exponentially in countries experiencing famine or massive unemployment, but tend to decline when economic conditions in those countries improve. It is important to note that, to a large extent, these conditions improve thanks to immigration.

Thus, the study reveals that, in order to curb mass irregular migration, it is important for the US to look beyond the border situation and understand that it needs to improve legal migration routes to avoid a devastating humanitarian crisis.

In fact, the study concludes, “So although most of the attention in the United States has been focused on the large number of people arriving at the border this year, the real alternatives that would change this pattern may lie slightly further away: within Central America itself and among those Central Americans living in the United States”.
