 Optimum Population Trust: International Migration
One conventional response to the question is that migration has little effect on global population growth - migration simply involves the redistribution of populations from one area of the Earth to another.
International migration affects the global environment, however, if it exacerbates world population growth (2.1 below); and migrant living standards rise to levels prevalent in their receiving country, in a way that increases their ecological footprint (2.2 below).
Thirdly, mass migration for settlement masks the underlying population problems of 'sending' countries - by encouraging the belief that there will always be another region to emigrate to or expand into, it allows governments (including that of the UK) to postpone tackling their own political, economic, ecological, population and other problems.
