Human migration, or the movement of people from one region to another, dates back to the origins of humankind. People traveled and often settled great distances seeking better opportunities, safety and survival. While a centuries old, global phenomenon, people continue to move both voluntarily and involuntarily today for these same reasons. Not new in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), the regions most stable economies hosted masses of foreign nationals over the past decades. Many migrants fleeing from economic, political or security complications, e.g. Bolivia, Paraguay, Peru, Colombia, and most recently Venezuela, sought better lives in neighboring countries where the reestablishment of their economic and personal safety seemed more hopeful. In recent years, countries such as Colombia, Chile and Costa Rica, perhaps with more promising social and economic prospects, attracted millions of migrants.
