Migration debates often generate more heat than light. Politicians argue, headlines dramatize, and public opinion sways, but too often the actual arithmetic of migration-applications filed, visas issued, cases backlogged, borders crossed-remains obscured.

Migration debates often generate more heat than light. Politicians argue, headlines dramatize, and public opinion sways, but too often the actual arithmetic of migration-applications filed, visas issued, cases backlogged, borders crossed-remains obscured. Border Math: Migration Policy by the Numbers cuts through the rhetoric to reveal how migration systems truly function, using data and clear explanation to show how the mechanics of policy shape lives across the globe. From the mathematics of backlogs to the global flow of remittances, from refugee ceilings to unauthorized crossings, Sky Adler demonstrates that migration is not an unknowable crisis but a process governed by numbers. With vivid clarity, the book explains how inputs and outputs determine wait times, how quotas and caps lock families into decades of waiting, and how small administrative levers produce enormous human consequences. Grounded in reliable sources and global comparisons, Border Math offers readers both a demystification of migration's complexity and a reminder that behind every statistic lies a human story. This is a book for anyone seeking clarity in one of the most contested and consequential policy debates of our time.
