In 1939 a ship carrying more than 900 Jews fleeing Nazi Germany was turned away from Havana, then from Florida, then from Canada, and sailed back to Europe. Twelve years later, governments promised never again to send a refugee back to persecution. Whether they have kept that promise, and how far it should reach, is one of the sharpest political questions of our time, argued over at every border from the Mediterranean to the Rio Grande.

You will learn why people leave home and why the poorest often cannot, who the law counts as a refugee, and how asylum decisions are actually made. You will weigh the best arguments for controlled borders and for open ones, look at what economists find when newcomers arrive, and see how families become citizens over generations. By the end you should be able to read a migration headline and ask the questions that matter: who is moving, under what law, and at whose cost and benefit.
