Michael Andrew Clemens is an American economist who studies international migration and global economic development.
Innovation can change what migration *is*—more orderly, skilled, integrated, & tangibly beneficial to everyone affected
In 2012 I proposed one way: Global Skill Partnerships

This remarkable thread is the best I've seen on that subject.
Conservative and Liberal Americans demand government with wisdom, moderation, humanity, and consequences for officials who kill.

NOEM: Everything I've said has been proven to be factual and the truth. This administration wants to operate in transparency.
T: What you said is not what happened
N: It absolutely is what happened
Who knows, of course, but it feels like what happens over the next few weeks will define the rest of our lives.

Several hundred people in Washington DC have the Constitutional power and duty end this immediately—today—and choose instead to reward it, poisoning our future.

"Learned what?" she asks

Let your representatives—in government and univ. administration and professional societies—know that Americans Right & Left reject the shattering of our research system.
Sometimes, it works.

No ability, whatsoever, to unify us.
No capacity to build—coalitions, institutions, a future shared by Conservatives and Liberals.
Just contempt, erasing budgets, blackmail. The only tools in the Playskool tool chest.
