Transforming Generational Migration Takes Time

Addressing the complex issue of migration, particularly from Central America, is a long-term effort that may span a decade rather than a single presidential term. Initiatives aimed at curbing migration face the challenge of deep-rooted generational patterns, where families traditionally migrate to the U.S. for better opportunities. This generational cycle complicates efforts to create incentives for families to remain in their home countries. Additionally, the global migration landscape is shifting, with increased migrants from various regions, highlighting the need for strategies that adapt to a wider context rather than focusing solely on the northern triangle. Despite the challenges and necessary adaptations, significant efforts are made within the frameworks of existing strategies.
