Challenges and Hopes: Why Brazilians Are Moving to the US

Like, when it comes to wanting to move, extra analysis shows that there's no obvious connection between overall happiness, being cool with your money situation, and getting ready to bounce. 

 This lowkey implies that the more someone is deadset on migrating, the less their personal opinions matter. Instead, the basic socio-demographic deets become major reasons for why they bounce. To peep the vibes of potential migrants, policymakers should lowkey focus on what's motivating their migration prep instead of just their desire to bounce. OMG, like, it's important to mention that the peeps who wanna move on their own totally reflect the reasons why peeps in general wanna move, ya know? Netz and ed are like the most lit factors that make peeps wanna bounce. These results lowkey confirm that, in middle income countries, peeps who have the dough and flex to dip abroad are more likely to bounce. In high income countries, tho, the rich peeps are, like, the least likely to prep to bounce, while in low income countries the connection between individual wealth and migration prep is, like, not super clear.


The DEMIG project is all about how strictness levels vary for different migration categories and groups. Like, policies have gotten stricter when it comes to border control and people leaving, especially for those who aren't here legally or are family members. But they've gotten less strict for people coming in and trying to fit in, like high- and low-skilled workers, students, and refugees (de Haas, Natter, and Vezzoli 2016, 1). Partially vibin' with DEMIG's conclusions, IMPIC peeps that 'Conditions and criteria to enter and stay in a country have become more chill for labor migrants, asylum seekers, and people joining their fams', while policies on irregular migrants have gotten stricter (Helbling and Kalkum 2017). So, like, there's, like, two areas where the two indexes reach diverging conclusions, ya know? Namely, asylum seekers and family reunification.Data from the IMPIC project (covering until 2010) suggests that, like, EU countries seem to have slightly more strict policies when compared to the sample of countries considered by these indexes. 

Besides being woke or basic, policies have become hella sophisticated in selecting immigrants, you know?


Besides the vibe on strict or chill policies, DEMIG finds that another big mood in the evolution of migration policies at the global level is their increasing swag. This is like, mostly done by using certain policy tools that are aimed at specific immigrant squads. Migration policies should like totally be understood, according to DEMIG, as a tool for like choosing migrants instead of like affecting how many come. It's hella important to like, get that these arguments don't really tell us much about which entry channels are more lit in a migration system, you know? Like, the ones that got 'liberalised' versus the ones that got restricted. Like, if we're talking numbers, it would be hella different if we made it easier for skilled peeps to migrate but still put limits on family reunions, ya feel?
Figure 20 flexes a pic of how strict immigration policies were in 2010, based on IMPIC data. The index goes from 0 to 1, and the closer the values to 1 (like, darker blue on the map), the more strict it is. IMPIC data be all about dem policies, ya know? Not just changes, like DEMIG.
A third index, IMPALA, kinda vibes with these findings. IMPALA can't even, like, find a vibe across migration categories56 and countries when it comes to how strict or chill migration policies are. For instance, IMPALA is like, yo, the US has been super strict about economic migration from 1999 to 2008 for the unskilled peeps, but they're all chill with the skilled ones (Beine et al. 2016, 845). In contrast, over the same period, according to IMPALA the United Kingdom totally flexed and made its policy hella chill towards the unskilled and skilled. In the fam reunification game, IMPALA peeps that while the rules for bae and fam reunification got more chill in France from 1999 to 2008, Germany next door only did the same for lil' fam members, but put mad restrictions on bae (Beine et al. 2016, 849).ConcluZion

The analysis of the migration drivers has resulted in the following main vibes:


Structural factors in the country of origin- like, economic, networks, demographic- are like the main drivers of international migration, when compared to the other drivers considered in our analyses.Our analyses have like totally confirmed the lit non-linear relation between economic development and migration: emigration be like going up at first, before it starts going down with economic development. This totally backs up the latest empirical evidence (Dao et al. 2018) that says mobility transition theories help us understand international migration movements in the long run. The drivers of the legal channels of migration be like, they say that structural factors - like networks and economic conditions at origin and destination - have, like, different influence on the different legal channels of migration to the EU. Like, the network effects are, like, super important for the fam channel, you know?
OMG our report has like totally confirmed that armed-conflicts, state fragility, and economic conditions are like major factors that make people move internationally to seek asylum. It's legit cray cray! When it comes to peeps wanting to bounce overseas, there's a major gap between those who talk the talk and those who actually walk the walk. Those prepping to dip tend to be young, bros, hella educated. Havin' connections abroad, a migrant background, and mad stacks all make it easier to bounce around the globe (just like the reasons people dip from their home countries).
