I strongly suspect a well-designed Internet of Migrants could handle 10-100x the current global refugee flow with 1/10th the conflict, much of which exists because the humanitarian burden is concentrated on national-border communities, not because resources are lacking.

Solving for pack-integrity at city level rather than for national identity integrity at borders also is the right resolution for harmonious cultural integration. You get (eventually) integrates Syrian families rather than ghettoes ripe for resentment and radicalization.

Keep families, friend groups and coffee-clubs of Hungarian mathematicians intact. Discourage tribes from forming or hardening their cultural boundaries via migration through hostile territories that view them as faceless, threatening invading masses. Personalize to humanize.

The “caravan” is presented as an invading army of orcs from Mordor. Viewed at right resolution it’s just a few hundred families that want to stay together and could easily be distributed across ~100 cities, all of which would have kindness/capacity to handle 10 families apiece

IoM, properly designed, could also probably handle domestic homelessness etc. too much better. Anyway hope that’s some good food for thought.

There should be an accounting for how much a migrant can give and how much will he be given by the host State. Kind of a return of investment.

This is a really bad idea. It assumes that states and native residents of them have intrinsic value that requires no justification, but people coming from elsewhere do. Either look at mutual value any of the 3 provide to each other or none.
