As many social studies educators have been teaching for years, human migration is taking place all over the world. Wars, political upheaval, climate change, terrorism, trafficking, and extreme poverty displace people or make survival in one’s home region tenuous. As we have seen from anthropology and DNA based ancestry analysis, global migration has been happening since the beginning of humankind. It has always shaped communities, economies and cultures. What is rarely discussed are the different categories of migrants and the legal systems that protect both local communities and migrants themselves.
