5、rce in modern life is as everywhere yet overlooked as global migration, that vehicle of creative destruction that is reordering ever more of the world. Overlooked? A skeptic may well question the statement, given how often the topic makes news and how divisive the news can be. After all. Arizonas ca
6、mpaign against illegal immigrants, codified in an April law, set off fierce debates from Melbourne to Madrid. But migration also shapes the landscape beneath the seemingly unrelated events of the headlines. It is a story-behind-the-story, a complicating tide, in issues as diverse as school bond figh
7、ts and efforts to isolate Iran. Even people who study migration for a living struggle to fully grasp its effects. “Politically, socially, economically, culturally migration bubbles up everywhere,“ James F. Hollifield, a political scientist at Southern Methodist University, said. “We often dont recog
8、nize it.“ One realm where migration has particularly powerful if largely unstated effects is school finance. Political scientists have found that white voters are more likely to oppose spending plans when they perceive the main beneficiaries to be children of immigrants (especially illegal immigrant
9、s). The outcome, of course, affects all children, immigrant or 10th generation. “When you get increased diversity, you weaken support for the common good,“ said Dowell Myers, a demographer at the University of Southern California. Professor Myers studied Proposition 55, a 2004 ballot initiative in C
10、alifornia that sought $ 12.3 billion in bond sales to relieve overcrowding and upgrade older schools. Publicly, most opponents framed their concerns in economic terms, saying the government wasted money and ran unsustainable debts. Still, anger about illegal immigration was, as one opponent put it,
11、the “elephant in the living room.“ School crowding, he wrote in a letter to The Riverside Press Enterprise, was “solely caused by Americas foolish open-borders policy.“ Holding all else equal, Professor Myers found, voters who saw immigration as a burden were nearly 9 percentage points more likely t
12、o oppose the measure than those who called immigration a benefit. “Thats a big effect it was almost enough to take it down.“ he said. The measure squeezed through, with barely 50 percent of the vote. Profound Impact Immigration also quickened the bitter split in the American labor movement. In 2005,
13、 a half dozen unions left the venerable A. F. L.-C. I. O. to form a rival federation, Change to Win. (The dissident (有异议者 ) unions included the Service Employees International Union and Unite Here.) On the surface, the fight was mostly about the pace of organizing, with the breakaway group pledging
14、more aggressive moves to enlist members. But the dissidents also counted more low-wage immigrants in their membership. As Daniel B. Cornfield, a labor scholar at Vanderbilt University, said, the immigrants marginal (and sometimes illegal) status created a constituency for a more aggressive approach.
15、 “I dont think it was a split about immigration, but immigration shaped the split,“ he said. Theorists sometimes call the movement of people the third wave of globalization, after the movement of goods (trade) and the movement of money (finance) that began in the previous century. But trade and fina
16、nce follow global norms and are governed by global institutions: the World Trade Organization, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund. There is no parallel group with “migration“ in its name. The most personal and perilous form of movement is the most unregulated. States make (and often ign
17、ore) their own rules, deciding who can come, how long they stay, and what rights they enjoy. While global trade and finance are disruptive some would argue as much as migration they are disruptive in less visible ways. A shirt made in Mexico can cost an American worker his job. A worker from Mexico
18、might move next door, send his children to public school and need to be spoken to in Spanish. One reason migration seems so potent is that it arose unexpectedly. As recently as the 1970s, immigration seemed of such little importance that the United States Census Bureau decided to stop asking people
19、where their parents were born. Now, a quarter of the residents of the United States under 18 are immigrants or immigrants children. The United Nations estimates that there are 214 million migrants across the globe, an increase of about 37 percent in two decades. Their ranks grew by 41 percent in Eur

As contentious as the issue is here, the Americans capacity to absorb immigrants remains the envy of many Europeans (including thos
22、e not inclined to envy Americans). Still, todays challenges differ from those of the past. At least five differences set this age apart and amplify migrations effects. First is migrations global reach. The movements of the 19th century were mostly trans-Atlantic. Now, Nepalis staff Korean factories
23、and Mongolians do unskilled work in Prague. Persian Gulf economies would collapse without armies of guest workers. Even within the United States, immigrants are spread across dozens of “new gateways“ unaccustomed to them, from Orlando to Salt Lake City. A second distinguishing trait is the money inv
