  1. Human migration will characterise the next few decades as vunerable and disadvantaged populations chase security, resources and economic opportunities. Nation states will either deal with that reality in a humane, ethical way: efficiently processing, accomodating and employing migrants, or become high security gated communities, at war with the inevitable flood of human traffic from less developed regions. Those that chose the latter will necessarily develop dramatic and brutal disincentives to migrants and refugeees, severely penalising those that get caught trying to enter illegally and sending out a propagandist narrative to their own populations of security and protection. They may even describe this brutality as 'fairness' as Priti Patel did last week. International law protecting migrants will inevitably begin to change to favour the developed nations. Treaties protecting the rights of the vunerable will be increasingly minimised or simply ignored. Once one nation begins to distance itself from international conventions others will gladly follow, like Denmark seem to want to follow the UK's lead and we want to follow Australia and Isreal. International law in the future will not protect human rights, but rather the rights of soverign states to protect their own borders in whatever way they choose. Probably violently. Citizenship will become as valuable a commodity as housing and employment. Those without citizenship will experience terrible hardship, persecution and will be vunerable to exploitation. The state will develop laws that retain the right to remove citizenship from individuals and groups, for a range of reasons, social control being one, economic policy being another. The wealthy and the influential will enjoy the security of full citizenship and all the benefits that brings while the poor and vunerable will live in fear of their citizenship being withdrawn or limited as a punitive measure of social engineering. Places like Rwanda will be only too willing to exploit this situation for their own economic and social reasons. Human rights and humanitarian issues will not be a priority and the developed nations, exporting their surplus human cargo, will be happy to turn a blind eye to these concerns. This will be the social policy for migration and displacement in the dystopian future of scarcity and cruelty, with the likes of Priti Patel as the architects, cheered on by hate fuelled mainstream media outlets and misinformed populations believing their countries are 'full up' despite the job vacancies and skill disparities. With climate change. wars will be fought over resources such as oil, gas, food and water and those conflicts will create further waves of refugees and economic migrants. Will racism effect policy? Yes. Most countries make little effort to disguise their own ethnic, religious and cultural bias and this will of course feed into which populations are seen as 'good' migrants and which are 'bad'. Skin colour may be a factor but so might caste, ethnicity, religion, language, heritage or the nature of the conflict being escaped from. Like the differences we see in the UK in our response to refugees from Syria, Afghanistan and The Ukraine. In the end we will all have to decide how we wish our own nations to proceed and hold our leaders to account. Otherwise people like Priti Patel will proceed, believing that they are serving the will of the people by being cruel and inflexible. I'm sure her plans for exporting people to Rwanda, like some kind of grotesque parody of a human trafficker, will not ultimately proceed. But I also think her plans are an indication of what the future may hold if we do not guard against it. Otherwise we may end up simply launching unwanted people into the Sun on one of Elon Musk's privately owned space craft!
