Afghan migrants face deportation from Pakistan in widespread crackdown

Deportations of Afghans alone are in the realm of hundreds of thousands. The article says the total number of targeted deportees is 1.7M.

I can only assume Republicans will keep their eye on this to see if it can be duplicated here as a part of their final solution.

The world is facing a crisis of refugees. And it's getting worse. People are fleeing their homelands due to oppression, violence, totalitarian rulers, corrupt governments, food insecurity, climate change...the list goes on. The more stable portions of the world can't accept these large numbers of refugees. There are too many, and they are slow to assimilate - or they refuse to assimilate - to the new cultures and laws of the countries they're fleeing to. This creates divisions in destination countries that cause them to become less stable.

The migration of tens of millions of people - possibly hundreds of millions - in the coming years and decades will stress the world like no other human event, including wars.

It makes me wonder if it isn't time for a global policy revision on "regime change". Can we (stable countries) accept a hundred million people? Or, should we force or coerce fixes to oppression, violence, totalitarian rule, corruption, food insecurity, etc., in these other countries so that people won't want to leave or be forced out?
