What would you like to see in Michele Wuckers ideal world?
You do all this work looking at gaps between policy and reality and migration, and how to address those gaps. So what would you really like to see in terms of where policy can move to address global migration, which is real and is going on? MICHELE WUCKER: My ideal world, that’s a great question. Imagine the world as you’d like it to be, which is, I think, the way we need to think about policy. Where is it that we want to be going, instead of just, “I’m against that, I’m for that, I’m against that.” I would like to see a clear and workable legal path for migration. That doesn’t mean absolutely everybody can go wherever they want to. That means that governments have taken a hard look at where their labor markets are at, what some of their workforce needs are, and the impact of migration on sending countries with whom they have a relationship. So in my ideal world, you would have (1) legal, orderly paths for migration; (2) you would have much more attention to the root causes of migratio
