Part Five

Migrants

IN THE MIDST of the peoplequake, people are on the move as never before. As workforces in Europe and parts of Asia implode, surplus people in struggling economies are eager to fill the gaps. And travel has never been so easy. If you have a thousand dollars and a tourist visa you can leap on a plane, be almost anywhere in the world within 24 hours, and disappear into the throng. The migrants are badly needed. And they are the advance guard of an increasingly globalized workforce of transnational citizens. But, even as they become essential to the economies they join, they are demonized and criminalized, making them vulnerable to criminal gangs and worse.
