Their recommendations urge national governments to protect the rights of migrants and enhance their benefit to the global market. According to the report there are about 200 million migrants in the world with 20 percent of these residing in the US. “Developed countries would suffer huge shock if the undocumented people stopped working,” said Mary Robinson, former president of Ireland and former UN High commissioner on Human Rights. Remittances from migrants to their families in less developed nations amounts to three times the amount of the average official development assistance: $150 billion per year.
