Abstract
Description
The discourse on brain drain, asymmetry, trans-territorial inequality, and of recent, issue relating
to terrorists’ threat, has dominated migration mediatic writings. Basically, the repulsive admittance
of migrants into developed countries has been found to correlate to the xenophobic attitudes that are
linked to myths and misinformation partly injected by the media and acted upon by political gladiators.
However, contrary to the negative attitudinal disposition to migrants’ admissibility that are rife in the
developed economies, this research work establishes that the Third World nations have consistently
sought for succour through push factors facilitating migration in the past and will continue to do so at
higher magnitude for many decades to come if the current economic situation and the corrupt disposition
of indigenous political elites remained unaltered. The chapter, thus, advocates the address of the
causative factors promoting migration rather than curative expenditures often embarked upon by the
United Nations Organization (UNO) and other advanced economies in arresting migratory emergencies.
