🧵 I did a deep dive into Jeffrey Sachs and although I knew he wrote books promoting mass migration, I had no idea he was literally the brainchild behind the mass migration scheme we have been experiencing in the United States since 2010.
He is on the advisory board of a think tank funded by George Soros which literally came up with the entire academic and tactical blueprint for the NGO mass migration pipeline we see today. He then took that blueprint and implemented it at the UN and at Catholic Charities.
Why is anyone promoting this guy? Was Norm Eisen and George Soros himself not available?

In 2009, George Soros invested 50 million dollars into a think tank, a think tank where Jeffrey Sachs sits on the advisory board of. A think tank that has advocated for open borders, and mass migration using the blueprint and economic theories he came up with.
The Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET) was established in 2009 in response to the 2008 global financial crisis, with the goal of challenging conventional economic theories and promoting alternative approaches to financial stability, inequality, and global governance.
While the organization focuses on economic justice, sustainable development, and labor markets, it has also played a critical role in advocating for immigration reform and better facilitation of mass migration.
While the organization focuses on economic justice, sustainable development, and labor markets, it has also played a critical role in advocating for immigration reform and better facilitation of mass migration.
INET’s research challenges restrictive immigration policies, arguing that well-managed migration benefits both origin and destination countries. This essay examines the funding sources of INET, its work on migration economics, and its advocacy for immigration policy reforms.
INET was founded with a $50 million pledge from George Soros, aimed at reshaping economic thinking after the 2008 financial collapse. The institute was designed to challenge neoliberal economic policies that, according to its founders, contributed to economic instability and rising inequality.
In addition to Soros’ contribution, INET has received funding from:
Jim Balsillie – Former co-CEO of BlackBerry, who contributed $25 million.
William H. Janeway – Economist and venture capitalist, who also contributed $25 million.
Alfred P. Sloan Foundation – A research-supporting institution that has provided grants for INET’s academic conferences and fellowships.

INET’s economic research on migration challenges traditional narratives that associate immigration with economic decline.
The organization ACTIVELY promotes migration as a driver of economic growth, highlighting positive effects on labor markets, entrepreneurship, and global wealth distribution.

Challenging Myths About Migration and Economic Decline
INET has funded research that refutes the claim that mass migration depresses wages or leads to job losses in host countries. Instead, its studies emphasize that:
- Migrant labor fills labor shortages in industries where native-born workers are unwilling or unable to work.
- Migrant entrepreneurship creates jobs and fosters innovation in host economies.
- Long-term economic gains from immigration outweigh short-term fiscal costs.
In its discussion titled “The Illusion of Migration as Development,” Professor Immanuel Ness argued that migration should not be seen as a “crisis” but as a structural necessity for advanced economies that rely on labor mobility.

Migration as a Solution to Global Inequality
INET’s research aligns migration policies with global economic justice, arguing that:
- Restrictive immigration laws prevent wealth redistribution by limiting labor mobility.
- Migration allows workers from developing nations to access higher wages, which in turn reduces global poverty.
- Countries that embrace open migration policies benefit from increased innovation, trade, and workforce adaptability.
A conversation hosted by INET, “Beyond Borders: Global Justice & Economic Patriotism,” with economists Thomas Piketty and Michael Sandel, explored how migration policies can balance economic justice and national interests.

Climate Migration and the Need for Legal Pathways
INET has highlighted climate change as a growing driver of migration, warning that millions of people will be displaced due to droughts, rising sea levels, and extreme weather events.
- The organization advocates for legal migration pathways for climate refugees.
- It promotes global governance structures to ensure migrants are protected from exploitation.
- Research suggests that migration should be integrated into climate adaptation strategies, rather than treated as an emergency crisis.

Beyond research, INET actively advocates for immigration policy reform, working alongside policymakers, civil society organizations, and international institutions to modernize migration systems and facilitate labor mobility.
Promoting Open and Fair Migration Policies
INET has proposed evidence-based immigration policies that call for:
- Regularized legal pathways to reduce undocumented migration.
- Abolition of restrictive visa policies that hinder economic opportunity.
- Worker mobility agreements between countries to match labor supply and demand

Reforming Asylum and Refugee Policies
INET argues that current asylum systems are outdated and often fail to protect those fleeing violence, economic hardship, and climate change. The organization supports:
- Expanding the definition of refugees to include economic and climate migrants.
- Creating regional resettlement programs that allow asylum seekers to work while awaiting processing.
- Encouraging host nations to integrate migrants into labor markets rather than keeping them in refugee camps.

Labor Rights for Migrant Workers
INET has been vocal about protecting migrant workers from exploitation, calling for:
- Stronger labor protections for migrants in low-wage industries.
-Abolishing employer-sponsored visa restrictions that prevent migrants from changing jobs.
- Trade union partnerships to support migrant worker rights.

The Role of the U.S. in Global Migration Reform
INET has lobbied policymakers in the U.S. and European Union to adopt pro-migration reforms. Its research supports:
- Expanding temporary work visas for essential industries.
- Providing legal status pathways for undocumented immigrants.
- Reforming border policies to focus on economic cooperation rather than deterrence.
INET’s stance aligns with international frameworks, including UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 10, which promotes orderly, safe, and responsible migration policies.
Mainly because Sachs sits on that board as well.
