I don’t buy it. Large scale ecological collapse and the following mega migrations, is going to butt fuck the fuck out of industrialised countries way before a wealthy Nigerian can luxury shop for migration destinations.

Also most industrialised countries would mostly need skilled labour and not random untrained immigrants, which of course would be the majority by far of future migrations.

State projects historically spent a lot of time and energy trying to convince people to settle in permanent settlements. Love James C. Scott’s Seeing like a State on that topic.

Migration good, xenophobia bad.
