Congressional Caucus on Global Migration

Image

The Congressional Caucus on Global Migration intends to position Congress as an effective ally in building the political will, advancing the regional and global collaboration, and establishing the partnerships with local and grassroots leaders needed to realize effective, orderly, and humane migration management. 

To do so, the caucus aims to increase Congress’s understanding of: 

• What has been done to address the factors and conditions that displace or drive people to migrate;
• What has worked to alleviate those factors and conditions;
• What more needs to be done; and
• Who has been missing from the table in identifying, crafting, and carrying out solutions. 

Irregular and forced migration have reached unprecedented levels around the world. Generalized violence, civil wars, human rights violations, democratic backsliding, economic exclusion, and climate instability are just some of the current crises driving families away from their homes in search of safety and stability. By facilitating engagements with international experts and local advocates, the caucus helps identify concrete solutions or key information that members can translate into meaningful congressional action.
