The most important question.
Will the coronaviruses outbreak boost or deflate globalization?
Covid-19 has been more effective than any other globalization foe at limiting the movement of people across borders. Is it making globalization more difficult?
Some experts say that this is just the beginning because the virus is supercharging cross-border collaboration. Professor Vasyl Taras says that virtual work will be like the invention of electricity. The gap between the world's haves and have-nots is widening despite the fact that people without an internet connection will be left out.
By the digits.
There are over two hundred million international migrants in the world.
There are an estimated number of H1B visa holders in the US.
H1B visa holders pay $85 billion in US taxes each year.
There are many migrants working in the UK healthcare sector who would have been ineligible for a visa under the new regulations.
China pumped $95 billion into infrastructure in Africa in 2019.
The world trade has gone up and down over the last year, part of the longest lull in the exchange of goods in a decade.
One large number.

The percentage of foreign-born people in the US is about the same as it was in 1900. It declined for six decades after hitting 15% in 1910. The number of foreign-born people in the US has gone up again, but only since 1970. The share of foreign-born in the US is not just the result of immigration, but also how many children people have in the US.
There is a chart of migration.
One thing is certain, global migration is not going anywhere. The number of immigrants leaving their countries has been going up for the past few decades, and with the uncertainties brought in from climate change, the trend is about to pick up speed.
Quotable.
People are trying to build walls in a protective environment. I don't think a wall could stop people from connecting in the tech environment. Corporations like Western Union drove the old globalization. They gave access to health, gave access to wealth, and produced a lot of jobs. The new globalization is driven by 7 billion people, and one of the reasons is the proliferation of web, network, and mobile connections. The CEO of Western Union said that an Indonesianentrepreneur can build a small business from their mobile phone and sell goods to Canada.
The question is commonly held.
In the context of demonizing immigration policies, open borders are often discussed. There is no evidence that a more open immigration system would hurt the economy. Research shows that foreigners willing to leave their homes to improve their lives bring economic gains to their new country. More immigration, even with added cost, would generate more economic growth according to many economists.

Get out. Stephen Miller is the architect of Donald Trump's hard line on immigration, and his profile in the New Yorker shows the kind of political cachet it carries.
Trade and growth in the Iron Age were discussed. The economists studied the Mediterranean thousands of years ago. Those most likely to trade are also likely to be more developed.

You can buy your way to citizenship in a number of countries, but it doesn't come cheap. You can live in St. Lucia with a $100,000 donation, but you will need to invest at least $400,000 for a residency permit in Germany or Portugal. A three-year residency in the UK costs around two million dollars, while a European citizenship requires an investment of over two million dollars. A green card can be yours with a $900,000 investment in the US.
Brief history.
The Diversity Visa Lottery gives out 50,000 US green cards to randomly selected applicants from countries that were underrepresented in US immigration over the previous five years. It was started in 1994 with the goal of changing the legal status of Irish immigrants and increasing immigration from Europe, but ended up being an effective tool to increase diversity in the country.
