Podcasts about migration policy

A European election candidate is proposing Ireland's migration policy move towards something similar to the UK's Rwanda Plan. The UK government's plans to send asylum seekers to Rwanda in order to process their claims there have passed by Parliament in the last month. The Supreme Court in Britain ruled last year that the policy is unlawful as there's an "evidence based finding of fact that Rwanda is not a safe country" and a "high risk Rwanda sending asylum seekers to place where there is a risk they would be subjected to persecution and ill-treatment". Barrister and Independent candidate Una McGurk believes however that a similar policy in Ireland would ease pressure on our international protection system.

Send us a Text Message.Today we're taking a step back from the personal stories we've been hearing to get some perspective on migration and Nepal. Specifically, we're talking about women who leave the country to work, including why a ban on them migrating as domestic workers is not a good idea. We'll also hear – and this is the idea that jolted my brain during the interview – why we need to share positive news about women's migration. My guest today, in the Himal Media studio in Patan Dhoka, is Sadikshya Bhattarai, Research Coordinator at the Centre for the Study of Labour and Mobility, aka CESLAM, at Social Science Baha here in Kathmandu. During our chat, Sadikshya does a great job of sketching the history of women migrating for work until today. She then details how the ban on women working as domestics in Gulf countries has evolved, and why it should end. But this isn't a single-focus discussion—Sadikshya also notes the many initiatives that the three levels of government and their partners have taken to try and improve the system, but concludes that they're just not working as intended.

Natural disasters and the dire effects of climate change cause massive population displacements and lead to some of the most intractable political and humanitarian challenges seen today. Yet, as Maria Cristina Garcia observes in State of Disaster: The Failure of U. S. Migration Policy in an Age of Climate Change (UNC Press, 2022), there is actually no such thing as a "climate refugee" under current U.S. law. Most initiatives intended to assist those who must migrate are flawed and ineffective from inception because they are derived from outmoded policies. In a world of climate change, U.S. refugee policy simply does not work. Garcia focuses on Central America and the Caribbean, where natural disasters have repeatedly worsened poverty, inequality, and domestic and international political tensions. She explains that the creation of better U.S. policy for those escaping disasters is severely limited by the 1980 Refugee Act, which continues to be applied almost exclusively for reasons of persecution directly related to politics, race, religion, and identity. Garcia contends that the United States must transform its outdated migration policies to address today's realities. Climate change and natural disasters are here to stay, and much of the human devastation left in their wake is essentially a policy choice. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Minister for Justice Helen McEntee said last week that more than 80% of recent arrivals in this country had come via the land border with Northern Ireland. Tánaiste Micheál Martin believes the UK Conservatives’ migration policies – chiefly the threat of deportation to Rwanda – was resulting in international protection applicants coming to Ireland instead of the UK. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said yesterday the UK’s Rwanda policy was working. Then a scheduled meeting between Helen McEntee and UK Home Secretary James Cleverly was cancelled by Mr Cleverly. Jerry got the views of Pa Daly who’s Sinn Féin’s justice spokesperson.

As the U.S. primary elections unfold, the issue of border security, particularly along the US-Mexico border, has taken center stage. Concerns about the number of people crossing the U.S. southern border illegally have prompted extreme and sometimes fatal measures by U.S. officials to curb the flow of migrants. How effective are these measures at slowing illegal immigration, and what is the cost for those trying to enter the U.S.? In this week's podcast, we sit down with Dr. Jason de León, professor of Anthropology and Chicano Studies at UCLA and the director of the Cotsen Institute of Archaeology, to discuss the effects of various immigration policies.Dr. de  León sheds light on the methods that have been employed since at least the 1990s to deter border crossing, such as the Prevention through Deterrence policy, highlighting the conditions faced by those who cross the border and the potentially fatal outcomes. Challenging the perception of migration as a localized issue, Dr. de  León argues that migration is a multifaceted phenomenon with global implications. He advocates for humane policies that address the root causes of migration, such as poverty and political turmoil, rather than relying on border enforcement policies that actively and often purposely cause harm and even death.Dr. de  León is the Executive Director of the Undocumented Migration Project (UMP),  professor of Anthropology and Chicano Studies at UCLA, and the Director of the Cotsen Institute of Archaeology. Dr de León earned his bachelor's at UCLA, and his PhD at Penn State University. He was named a MacArthur Foundation fellow in 2017. His first book “The Land of Open Graves: Living and Dying on the Migrant Trail”, was published in 2015 by the University of California Press, and his second book, “Soldiers and Kings: Survival and Hope in the World of Human Smuggling”, was published by Viking Press in March 2024.

Climate change, war, natural disasters and poverty are among the reasons why people leave their homelands and travel to countries which offer security, respect for human rights, and a better life. But how does a government square this and meet its humanitarian obligations when there’s a housing shortage in this country? Jerry spoke to Piaras Mac Éinrí who lectures in geography at UCC. At the start, Jerry references the plan by the GAA to sell some Croke Park seats as the stadium prepares for a €15 million refurbishment.

Two years after the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, much remains to be done to provide permanent safety and security for our Afghan allies, refugees, and their families both in the United States and abroad. Despite large-scale efforts on behalf of resettlement agencies, faith communities, and others to welcome this community, Afghans in the United States lack a path to permanent residency and Afghans abroad remain at risk of persecution and harm. The Episcopal Church and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America present this amazing panel about the current status of Afghan resettlement, the situation of those who were left behind, updates on the Afghan Adjustment Act, and how people of faith can continue to support Afghans and advocate for policy to help them. Speakers include: Dario Lipovac, Refugee Services Director, Interfaith Ministries for Greater Houston; Campbell Dunsmore, Policy and Advocacy Officer, International Rescue Committee; Lans Rothfusz, Norman Coalition for Refugees; Giovana Oaxaca, Program Director, Migration Policy, Evangelical Lutheran Church in America; and Lindsey Warburton, Policy Advisor, Office of Government Relations, The Episcopal Church.  The Office of Government Relations aims to represent the policy priorities of The Episcopal Church to the U.S. government in Washington, D.C., and to influence policy and legislation on critical issues, highlighting the voices and experiences of Episcopalians and Anglicans globally.

El 1 de julio entró en vigor la ley 1718, firmada por el gobernador Ron DeSantis, que contempla penas severas para empresas que contraten indocumentados o para aquellos que los trasladen, exige que los hospitales pidan a sus pacientes información sobre su estatus migratorio, entre otras graves medidas.En un estado donde hay más de 700,000 personas indocumentadas, según el Migration Policy, la llamada ley anti inmigrantes ha provocado temor, zozobra y que muchos decidan irse a otros estados. ¿Cómo está impactando esta ley al estado de Florida? ¿Cuáles son las dimensiones de las consecuencias económicas? ¿Qué se puede esperar en un futuro, no tan lejano? Hoy, tres voces nos contarán cuál es la situación en el estado de la Florida: Erwin Rodríguez, pequeño empresario hispano; Vilma Tarazona, periodista de Univision, y Ernesto Castañeda, director del Centro de Estudios Latinoamericanos del Laboratorio de Inmigración.

It was billed as 'small boats week' – a series of government announcements designed to show progress on the issue of cross channel migration. But the reality of the last seven days has got in the way. The 30 or so migrants who had been moved on to a housing barge off Dorset had to be moved out after Legionella was found onboard and Thursday also saw the highest daily number of people crossing the channel this year On the Sky News Daily, Rob Powell asks Peter Walsh, from the Migration Observatory, if migration policies impact people's decisions to travel to the UK, and he speaks to fellow political correspondent Amanda Akass about why the Government has picked ending small boats crossings as one of its five pledges ahead of the next election.

Digital health credentialing is one of the main tools to safely return to pre-pandemic levels of mobility and plan for the next public health crisis. Digital innovations—including automatic verification of health and vaccination results—are reopening economies and global mobility while setting the standard for new ways of managing mobility and health that will outlast the pandemic, especially in regions that had lower levels of digital use and more limited health and border management systems. Notably, India's DIVOC system and the African Union Trusted Traveler system are examples of how the pandemic fueled large-scale innovation in this regard. In this episode, we discuss these developments with Dr. Pramod Varma, chief architect of India's digital identity program, Aadhar, and of its COVID pass system, DIVOC; Dr. Edem Adzogenu, co-chair and founder of the Afro Champions Initiative, which supports regional integration and implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Agreement; and Lawrence Huang, a Migration Policy institute (MPI) associate policy analyst working on its Task Force on Borders and Mobility During and After COVID-19.

Hello and welcome to the Migration & Diaspora Podcast, with me your host Loksan Harley. In today's episode, I'm delighted to be joined by Colleen Thouez, one of the foremost experts in the field of city-level migration governance. About Colleen Colleen Thouez is currently a senior fellow at the New School's Zolberg Institute, where she directs the Global Cities portfolio. She is also a senior visiting fellow at SciencesPo Paris where she advises French cities, and the Africa-Europe Mayors Dialogue on Growth and Solidarity. As the inaugural director of the Welcoming and Inclusive Cities Division at the Open Society Foundations (OSF), she conceived the Mayors Migration Council (MMC) and its Global Cities Fund (2019), the Africa-Europe Mayors Dialogue (2020), and the University Alliance for Refugees and At-Risk Migrants (2018). In 2021, she was appointed by the National Association of (University) System Heads, to assist in securing housing and sponsorship for recently arrived Afghan families on university campuses across the US. Dr. Thouez previously served for 17 years at the United Nations in leadership positions in adult education and international migration. She continues to advise national governments, municipal governments, regional bodies, and United Nations agencies, amongst others. What we talk about Colleen starts by introducing us to city-level migration issues and governance challenges, drawing from her truly global experiences working with municipalities from Barranquilla to Bristol. We then talk through some of her recent research and work on how cities have an increasingly powerful role in shaping migration governance on the global stage - in part thanks to some of the incredible examples of how many cities have supported their migrant residents during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Years after legalization, where are we now? The New Director of the Office of Cannabis along with local dispenser Malcom Mirage discuss... About the Speakers: About Nikesh Patel: Born in San Francisco, and raised in a single-room occupancy hotel in the Tenderloin, Nikesh Patel's first experience with serving the City and County of San Francisco began nearly twenty years ago as a high school intern with the San Francisco Department of Public Health. Followed by a summer internship with the San Francisco Ethics Commission, and multiple clerkships and permanent positions with the San Francisco District Attorney's Office and, most recently, the Office of Cannabis, his career path has long aligned with his love of, and gratitude for, the city that has raised him. Nikesh Patel currently serves as the Director of the Office of Cannabis (“OOC”). Prior to being elevated to the position, he served as the Associate Director of Oversight for the OOC. In this role, he steered a public advisory body (the San Francisco Cannabis Oversight Committee) of sixteen (16) members that issues recommendations to the Office of the Mayor and the Board of Supervisors. He also led external communications and media relations for the OOC, and contributed to setting policy and legislative priorities, analyzing applications and guiding applicants through the permit process. He has been an active member of the State Bar of California and an attorney since 2017. Prior to joining the Office of Cannabis, Nikesh worked as an Assistant District Attorney and member of former San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón's Communication and Policy team. In these roles, he supported a variety of criminal justice reform initiatives, including the DA's vision to proactively expunge more than 9,000 cannabis-related convictions eligible for dismissal under Proposition 64. He also bolstered processes within the office to enhance transparency and access to public records and data, and played integral roles in developing innovative educational and public safety campaigns. With the San Francisco District Attorney's (“SFDA”) Office, Nikesh also served as one of the first prosecutors assigned to a novel crime reduction program. Known as LEAD SF, the pilot program conjoined the SFDA's Office, Department of Public Health, law enforcement agencies, the Public Defender's Office, and community-based organizations to manage a caseload of 200+ participants in a City-wide effort to reduce recidivism. Nikesh believes in the power of government to be introspective, flexible, and ultimately, a partner in ushering a more equitable society. As the next Director of the Office of Cannabis, he is energized to elevate the momentum of the office and continue to champion a model equity program and premier cannabis industry. Nikesh holds a Bachelor of Arts in American Studies from Stanford University, a Masters of Science in Migration Policy from Oxford University (UK), and a Juris Doctor degree from the Berkeley School of Law. About Malcolm Mirage: In 2013, on one of Malcolm's monthly drives from San Francisco to New York City, he saw a vision in the distance, a mirage in his mind's eye: Prohibition wouldn't last forever and California would be legalized soon enough. With over a hundred pounds of Northern California cannabis as cargo, Malcolm spent the rest of the drive laying out plans to start his own legal cannabis dispensary in San Francisco. He shared his epiphany with his father, and with Jerome's support, established Mirage Medicinal as a registered California cannabis co-operative, started his website, and worked on plans to officially launch in 2015. Malcolm worked painstaking hours to raise capital and execute his vision, but the dream went up in smoke the day he was arrested in Texas with over 120 pounds of top shelf Cali weed. After making bail, he flew to New York City, hustling tirelessly to recoup his losses by doubling down. In late 2014, Malcolm was arrested again and sentenced to a year in New York City's notorious Rikers Island Prison for felony transportation of marijuana with intent to sell. Everything came to a halt for Malcolm as he served time at Rikers Island. It was at this juncture that Mirage became a true family business, as Jerome picked up where Malcolm left off. Jerome was even better at growing the business than his son, but was arrested while doing so in New York City. With Jerome now convicted of conspiracy to distribute cannabis, Malcolm's sister Nina stepped in to maintain momentum for Mirage while her brother and father were incarcerated. When Malcolm was released in 2016, he joined Nina in advocating for the San Francisco Cannabis Equity Program. The program was to ensure people of color and cannabis criminals would not be shut out of the opportunity of the emerging legalization movement in California, as they had been in other legal cannabis states. They were successful in their grass roots lobbying effort, playing a major role in crafting the language of what would become the San Francisco Social Equity Program, and Malcolm became one of the earliest applicants to qualify for approval by San Francisco's Cannabis Equity Program.

Save Meduza!https://support.meduza.io/enWhen it comes to carrying out repressions, the Russian government's reach isn't limited by its own borders. The Kremlin is known for going after perceived enemies abroad — especially former “insiders” and members of the political opposition. In recent years, high-profile assassinations linked to Russian agents have made headlines around the world, and Moscow has developed a reputation for abusing the Interpol notice system. At the same time, those who flee Russia's Chechen Republic are particularly at risk. Under regional leader Ramzan Kadyrov, this sub-national regime has carried out a unique and concerted campaign to control the Chechen diaspora. Moreover, asylum seekers from the Russian North Caucasus who seek refuge in European countries are now faced with rising xenophobia, as well as tightening migration policies that threaten to send them back to Russia. To find out more about how the Russian — and Chechen — authorities carry out repressive activities beyond Russia's borders, “The Naked Pravda” spoke to Nate Schenkkan, director for research strategy at Freedom House, and Kateryna Sergatskova, the editor-in-chief of Zaborona Media. “The Naked Pravda” comes out on Saturdays (or sometimes Fridays).
