ABSTRACT
Human migration is a truly global phenomenon. Not only does it involve every country on earth, but it also connects with a wide range of diverse issues ranging from farm subsidies and militias to democracy and demographics. Because migration is interwoven into so many places and issues, it is enormously complex. This complexity often catches people off guard who at first glance think it is fairly straightforward. Scratch the surface, however, and it quickly becomes clear that it is not simple to “help refugees” or “get rid of illegal immigrants” or “become a citizen.”
