Tens of thousands are detained and deported in the United States, the European Union and elsewhere but human migration will not stop. The number of migrants worldwide has increased from an estimated 36 million in 1991 to over 200 million today, including 11 million undocumented immigrants in the United States. Migration is wired into the structures of capitalism and is transforming nation-state demographics and politics. However, the proposals coming from the mainstream parties and organizations purposely fail to address fundamental issues such as climate change, border walls, global recession and economic underdevelopment. This forum will put forward radical proposals and movement-strategies to challenge the shortcomings of 'immigration reform'.
