Immanuel Ness, a professor of political science at Brooklyn College, examines the limited benefits and significant drawbacks of migration as a development strategy. He argues that migration, often framed as a solution for economic growth, primarily helps individuals survive rather than fostering genuine development. Ness highlights the exploitative nature of current migration regimes, emphasizing the disparity between wealthy and poorer nations. He calls for a rethinking of migration policies, advocating for greater mobility rights and a development approach originating from the Global South.
