"Migrant" didn't exist as a category until modernity. Before that you had refugees, invaders, slaves, and merchants/sailors (not counting nomads). In the 1300s there were 2 people who didn't fit those special categories (Ibn Batuta, Petrarch,...). Now: 244m, 3% of world.

If migrants were a country, they'd be the 5th largest in the world. This is a hilariously disenfranchised group. Humanity has put itself into a nativist zugzwang since Westphalia: you move you lose. Instant demotion from human to subhuman.

Thought experiment: what would it take to organize migrants into a sort of virtual second-order nation? You prove you've lived/worked in 2+ countries, you get a "Globalist" passport that gets you some sort of recognition and privileges in the interstices of world. Like seasteads.

Do migrants as a class have any sort of collective action leverage against nations/nativists? You can't work within the vote-based representation system since most don't have voting rights. But could you, for instance, call a global migrant "strike" for example? (answer: no)

This is going to be an increasingly critical problem as climate change drives up more migration, and more people enter relationships that create families spanning continents.

Ironically, "migrant" is probably the only identity that evokes anything comparable to a sentiment like "nationalism" for me. Having crossed a significant border (or being born to someone who has) is a serious bond with others who've done the same, regardless of race etc.

James C. Scott has a great work on this (The Art of Not Being Governed, and to a lesser extent Weapons of the Weak)

I think they largely will form extra-legal personhoods, perhaps bitcoin (nakamoto: go were the state wont go) is one early look. Perhaps they will settle the internet instead of the land.
