💨 Abstract

Amy Pope, head of the UN's migration agency, warned that tightening borders and reducing aid in Western nations could increase instability. She emphasized that addressing migration requires stabilizing origin countries and providing legal migration channels. Pope praised Italy's approach, which combines strict border measures with expanded legal migration routes, as an experiment worth watching. She also cautioned against premature repatriation of Syrians and noted the ripple effects of U.S. border policies in Latin America.
