The first immigrant to become a US citizen under the current legal system was a hotel clerk from Canada. Our Jeanne Batalova delves into the naturalization process.

Este informe recién publicado por Migration Policy Institute analiza cómo puede evolucionar en el futuro el sistema de protección internacional. ¿Qué cambios y modificaciones deberían experimentar los sistemas de asilo para que mejoren su capacidad de procesar casos sin vulnerar el derecho a la protección internacional? Incluyo una serie de recomendaciones que se mencionan en este documento: ✅ Habilitar la participación significativa de las personas refugiadas en la formulación de políticas de atención humanitaria e integración no por un imperativo moral, sino para hacerlas más operativas y eficaces. ✅ Garantizar el principio de no devolución de las personas que huyen de sus países y tienen un fundado temor a regresar activando mecanismos de evacuación y traslados de emergencias a países vecinos. ✅ Materializar el principio de responsabilidad compartida, especialmente a nivel regional, mediante una financiación adecuada a largo plazo que vaya más allá de brindar asistencia humanitaria y construya capacidades para acceder a estatus legal y documentación y derecho a la salud, educación, vivienda y trabajo.

The global humanitarian protection system is under untenable pressure from displacement crisis after crisis and growing mobility challenges, even as the political space for the territorial asylum at its heart is shrinking. 📋 In a new report, we offer a transformational vision for the future of the international protection system to reflect 21st century realities. Susan Fratzke, Meghan Benton, Andrew Selee, Emma Dorst and Samuel Davidoff-Gore assess promising developments and best-in-class ideas for facilitating orderly entry, ensuring efficiency in asylum and border processing systems, and building regional capacity. The result? A new and improved global protection system that can be better at: ✔️providing protection to those who need it & swiftly adjudicating those found not to merit protection  ✔️securing public trust by reducing chaos at borders and within public systems  ✔️reducing harm to individuals Read the report ⤵  https://lnkd.in/gPAZgErs  

📍 After three major polls, what's next for migration cooperation in Europe? Together with Meghan Benton, we outline three ideas to craft a new chapter between the United Kingdom and the European Union: 1️⃣ Restore operational and diplomatic cooperation in fields such as asylum and assisted return and reintegration 2️⃣ Combine new funding and diplomatic weight to better address refugee situations in Africa and the Middle East 3️⃣ Support innovations and scale pathways in Europe and beyond, drawing on models such as the U.S. humanitarian parole program and the Safe Mobility Offices. This new joint leadership can tackle current challenges, and will be even more crucial for preserving international protection if Trumps wins in November. Thanks to Michelle Mittelstadt for all the thoughtful edits, and Lucía Salgado for our collaboration on this topic in the past year!

Wow: DHS is using expedited removal for a far larger share of migrants arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border is releasing a far smaller share into the U.S., as colleague Colleen Putzel-Kavanaugh explains, comparing May and June data.

I had a good conversation with Daniel Scott about what it means to be a tourist in a warming world. We touched on the ways that tourists can be vulnerable to extreme heat, how people are changing when and where they vacation, and what this shift means for tourism-dependent economies. Give it a listen on your next road trip, flight, or sustainable high-speed rail journey.

Ever heard of a “coolcation”? What about “last-chance tourism”? In the era of climate change and extreme heat, vacations are taking a new shape. Some travelers are opting for different destinations, scheduling trips for cooler times of the year, or considering the emissions their trips will generate. These and other shifts can have major repercussions for tourism-dependent communities and may give rise to a new crop of climate-resilient hotspots. Our podcast “Changing Climate, Changing Migration” features a discussion with Daniel Scott about the various ways that climate change is remaking vacations.

Donald Trump says he’s planning to carry out millions of deportations if he’s re-elected. You might be surprised to learn that President Joe Biden’s administration is on pace to match the number of deportations that occurred during Trump’s first term. And counting all types of repatriations of unauthorized migrants, the Biden administration has already far surpassed Trump. As did the prior Obama, Bush, and Clinton administrations. 📊 Get the stats, from our Muzaffar Chishti and Kathleen Bush-Joseph ➡️ https://lnkd.in/evJrymy2 🤝 Other countries are crucial in facilitating deportations.
