Migration and Safe Mobility Offices
UN high commissioner for refugees suggests that Europeans should replicate President Joe Biden's Safe Mobility Offices for migrants in South America and Africa. The idea involves offering legal ways for migrants to reach desired states and expanding legal migration opportunities. Mayorkas has already facilitated the entry of millions of migrants into the US since 2021 through various routes and legal loopholes. The policy is criticized for potentially disadvantaging native workers and citizens.
