There are many consequences of illegal cross border migration on both the migrants and the country they are entering. Here are some examples:
Consequences for migrants:
- Risk of physical harm, including injury, illness, and death while crossing borders
- Exploitation and abuse by smugglers or traffickers
- Alienation and discrimination due to their undocumented status in the country they are entering
- Difficulty accessing basic services such as healthcare, education, and legal protection
- Separation from family and friends left behind in their home country
Consequences for the destination country:
- Strain on limited resources such as housing, healthcare, education, and employment opportunities, potentially resulting in resentment from citizens or legal residents
- Possibility of increased crime rates and societal tensions due to the presence of undocumented migrants
To minimize illegal cross border migration in Ethiopia, there are several measures that can be taken:
- Strengthen border patrol and enforcement to make it more difficult for smugglers to bring migrants across illegally
- Address the root causes of migration, such as poverty, political instability, and lack of economic opportunity, in order to discourage people from taking the dangerous and uncertain path of illegal migration
- Develop legal channels for migration, such as temporary work visas or family reunification programs, to give people a safe and legal way to enter the country and contribute to its economy
- Educate citizens on the benefits of diversity and the contributions that migrants can make to their communities
- Work with other countries and regional organizations to address the global issue of migration and advocate for policies that protect the rights of all migrants, including those who choose to return to their home countries.
