Abstract

The number of international migrants, defined as persons outside their country of birth at least a year, reached 232 million in 2013, making 3.2% of the world's people international migrants. The United States is debating what to do about 11–12 million unauthorized foreigners, Canada is modifying its point-selection system to reduce brain waste, and some Latin American countries are attracting home citizens who emigrated.
