Migration

Migration Is An Underdevelopment Issue

February 6, 2026 Vijay Prashad, Tricontinental Institute for Social Research. Educate! Development, Global South, International Monetary Fund (IMF), Migration, Poverty

In 2014, the United Nations’ International Organisation for Migration (IOM) launched the Missing Migrants Project. The project, which ‘hosts the only open-access database of records of deaths during migration on the global level’, estimates that at least 33,220 migrants have died or disappeared while crossing the Mediterranean Sea since 2014. This is a very low estimate because the IOM admits that it cannot account for every boat that leaves the North African coast, let alone trace those that never arrive in Europe. South of the Mediterranean lies the Sahara Desert, where the dangers are even greater.

US Racist Immigration Policy Toward Haiti Reinforces Imperialism

December 17, 2025 Black Alliance for Peace, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Haiti, Immigrant Rights, Migration, Sovereignty, Trump Administration, US Imperialism

On November 26th 2025, the Trump administration terminated Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti using nearly identical language to the TPS cancellations earlier this year for displaced Venezuelans and affecting upward of 353,000 Haitian migrants. In both cases, the Department of Homeland Security claimed that continued protections were “not in the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States,” affirming U.S. policy abuses redefine their “interests” at a whim. While the U.S. has long politicized displacement from leftist states like Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua, casting migrants as evidence of socialism’s failure and selectively offering protections when it aligns with Washington’s broader regime-change goals, Haitian migration has been structurally and historically precarious.

Nicaragua Tourism ‘Steals The Spotlight,’ Earning Punitive Measures From US

November 28, 2025 Becca Renk Foster, Popular Resistance. Educate! Migration, Nicaragua, Tourism, US Retaliation

“Nicaragua Steals the Spotlight in Global Tourism Fairs,” read a headline in Travel and Tour World on 15 November, highlighting Nicaragua’s performance at recent industry events in the United Kingdom, China, Germany, and Canada. “Nicaragua is rapidly becoming one of the most talked-about destinations for international tourists,” the article gushed. Two days later on 17 November, the United States Embassy in Nicaragua announced new visa restrictions on representatives of Nicaraguan transportation companies, travel agencies, and tour operators. In a statement, the embassy claimed those affected had been “identified as knowingly facilitating illegal immigration to the United States.”

Mexico: ‘We Will Firmly Defend The Rights Of Our Compatriots’

June 11, 2025 Alonso Urrutia and Nestor Jimenez, Resumen English. Resist! Claudia Scheinbaum, Immigrant Rights, Immigration, Mexico, Migrant Rights, Migration, Solidarity

Expressing her government’s unwavering commitment to defending the rights of Mexican nationals residing in the United States—whom she described as hard-working and honest people, regardless of their immigration status—President Claudia Sheinbaum criticized practices that criminalize the movement of people. We respectfully but firmly call on the US authorities to ensure that all immigration procedures are carried out in accordance with due process and within a framework of respect for human dignity and the rule of law. Sheinbaum presented her government’s position on the anti-immigrant raids carried out on Friday in Los Angeles.

CELAC Prepares High-Level Summit On Integration, Peacekeeping, And More

April 3, 2025 TeleSur, Orinoco Tribune. Organize! Caribbean, CELAC, Latin America, Migration, Zone of Peace

Honduran Foreign Minister Eduardo Enrique Reina highlighted the significance of his country’s leadership of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) and announced that Honduras will hand over the Pro Tempore Presidency (PPT) of this intergovernmental mechanism to Colombia during the IX Summit of Heads of State and Government, to be held on April 9 in Tegucigalpa. During a press conference on Tuesday, the diplomat announced that the high-level summit will take place at the headquarters of the Central Bank of Honduras, starting at 8:00 a.m. local time.

Panama’s Outrage Over Deportations: Reckoning With A Reality Long Ignored

March 13, 2025 Janvieve Williams Comrie, Black Agenda Report. Educate! Donald Trump, Human Rights, Latin America, Migration, Panama, Trump Administration

Panama—and by extension, much of Latin America—is in an uproar. The news of deported migrants, stranded and detained in Panama, has stirred outrage and condemnation. Yet, this is not a new story. It is merely a chapter in a book that has been written, rewritten, and ignored for decades in the United States, even as families, migrants, and human rights advocates warned that such policies would not stay contained within U.S. borders forever. The real question now is: Why is migration only becoming a pressing issue for Latin American nations when they are the ones forced to deal with the aftermath?

Whether Biden Or Trump, US’ Latin American Policy Will Be Contemptible

January 30, 2025 John Perry and Roger D. Harris, Popular Resistance. Educate! Donald Trump, Drug War, economic war, Latin America, Migration, Monroe Doctrine, Tariffs

With Donald Trump as the new US president, pundits are speculating about how US policy towards Latin America might change. In this article, we look at some of the speculation, then address three specific instances of how the US’s policy priorities may be viewed from a progressive, Latin American perspective. This leads us to a wider argument: that the way these issues are dealt with is symptomatic of Washington’s paramount objective of sustaining the US’s hegemonic position. In this overriding preoccupation, its policy towards Latin America is only one element, of course, but always of significance because the US hegemon still treats the region as its “backyard.”

Small Farming, Urbanisation And Climate Migration

December 2, 2024 Jake Smaje, Resilience.org. Educate! Bangladesh, climate crisis, Food and Agriculture, Migration, Small Farmers

Bangladesh is a small country that sits within the Northeast of South Asia with India wrapped around it, and Myanmar to the South. Despite its small size and relatively recent independence, Bangladesh plays an oversized role in the way poverty, development, climate change and urbanisation are imagined globally. Often in discussions of climate change the conversation turns to Bangladesh as a country imagined to be sinking, throwing out waves of climate migrants across the world. For many reasons this vision is wrong. I don’t have space to go into this in depth here (see further references below). Instead, I want to tell a different but connected story about Bangladesh, urbanisation and the environment.

US Exploits Animosity Towards Migrants To Demonize Socialist Countries

July 12, 2024 Jill Clark-Gollub, Orinoco Tribune. Educate! Cuba, Honduras, Migrants, Migration, Nicaragua, Racism, Sanctions, US Sanctions

The Republican party has been waging a blatantly racist campaign to criminalize migrants. Instead of pushing back on that narrative, the party that purports to be for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (Democrats) is exploiting this racist anger to discredit a country it has targeted for regime change—Nicaragua—apparently for not sufficiently suppressing the rights of migrants. As Congresswoman Maria Salazar (R-FL) told a Biden administration representative at a recent hearing, “We agree on the end goal.” This is part of a relentless campaign to punish countries that dare to resist Washington’s agenda with suffocating unilateral coercive measures (aka “sanctions”).

How Safe Is Nicaragua? A Comparative Reflection

July 9, 2024 James Phillips, Orinoco Tribune. Educate! Dictatorship, History, Honduras, Human Rights, Migration, Nicaragua, Propaganda, Sanctions, Sandinistas, Somoza

Nicaraguan children march before a baseball tournament in Matagalpa. Having a government that promotes communitarian trust and supports meeting the needs of everyone seems to be a crucial factor in whether people feel “safe.” On the night before I was married in 1985, during the wedding rehearsal dinner, my “best man,” Gary MacEoin, knew that my wife and I were heading to Nicaragua a week later, where the country was in the middle of the Contra War. My wife’s parents were concerned for our safety. Gary proposed a toast, “To the second safest city in the hemisphere…Managua!”

Biden Shuts Down US-Mexico Border

June 11, 2024 People's Dispatch. Educate! Asylum, Border, Joe Biden, Mexico, Migrant crisis, Migration, US-Mexico border

Biden signed an executive order temporarily shutting down the US-Mexico border to asylum requests once the average number of daily encounters of migrants at official ports of entry tops 2,500. The shutdown would go into effect immediately, as the average number of people coming through the border through official ports of entry is averaging around 4,000 people per day. This action comes after a bill pushed by Biden failed in Congress earlier this year, which would have jointly enacted harsh restrictions on the border and provided millions in funding to Ukraine. Congressional conservatives rejected the bill due to claims that it was not strict enough on migrants and due to conservative opposition to additional Ukraine funding.

The Next Great Human Migration: America’s Future Climate

June 8, 2024 Craig Thompson, EcoWatch. Educate! climate crisis, Extreme weather, Migration, United States

A 2022 report from the International Panel on Climate Change observed that more than 3.3 billion people around the world are “highly vulnerable to climate change.” And more than one billion people could be exposed to “coastal-specific climate hazards by 2050.” Here in the U.S., the Census Bureau calculated that 3.2 million adults were displaced or evacuated due to natural disasters of all kinds in 2022. And while climate migration is not easily measurable, as there are multiple factors involved, it is no doubt happening. Investigative reporter at Politico Abrahm Lustgarten delved into the topic of U.S. climate migration in his new book, On The Move: The Overheating Earth and the Uprooting of America.

Washington Removes Cuba From List Of Countries Not Cooperating Fully Against Terrorism

May 16, 2024 Orinoco Tribune. Educate! Cuba, Migration, Terrorism, US Imperialism, US Sanctions

The US Department of State has announced that Cuba is no longer on their list of countries not fully cooperating against terrorism, which does not include the lifting of their illegal and unilateral sanctions against the Cuban people. The cooperation against terrorism list, which the Department of State is required by law to provide to US Congress, is not the same as the State Sponsors of Terrorism list, according to a Department of State official announcing the decision this Wednesday, May 15. Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez reported via social media that “the United States has just admitted what is known to all: that Cuba fully collaborates with the efforts against terrorism.”

Protests Erupt In Germany After Exposure Of Far-Right Conspiracy

In the wake of revelations about a far-right conspiracy in Germany to expel migrants and “non-assimilated citizens”, progressive sections in Germany have launched militant anti-far-right demonstrations across the country, raising the banner “Together Against the Right,” in defense of democracy and against fascism. From January 19 to January 22, more than 1.4 million people, including leftists, trade unionists, youth-students groups, and various other anti-fascist groups hit the streets in more than a hundred cities across Germany, protesting the xenophobic maneuvers and political schemings of far-right groups, including the Alternative for Germany (AfD).
