Global Migration and "The Route" to the US

Wilson Center NOW

In this edition of Wilson Center NOW, we are joined by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, author, and current Wilson Center Fellow Molly O’Toole. She discusses her upcoming book, “The Route: How American Policy, a Billion-Dollar Black Market, and Indomitable Resilience are Bringing the World’s Refugees to the US Border.” The book examines “one of the most consequential issues of our time — the mass movement of people around the globe in the face of climate change, civil unrest, and more, with tens of thousands of migrants from Africa and Asia attempting the same treacherous route through South America and Central America each year to reach the US-Mexico border in hopes of gaining entry to America.”
