The Impact of International Migration on Security: Terrorism and Refugee in Perspective

The aim of this research is to explore the consequential effect of refugees as it relates to terrorism, with the proposed causal links between terrorism on the one hand and (forced and irregular) migration on the other. It examines migration and terrorism as an in-depth intersection and phenomenon, through the lens and analysis of Alex P. Schmid, Egan, Liam and Choi and Piazza. Counter- terrorism operations have also led to forced migration and vice versa. The author concludes that international migration or refugee is not only a consequential effect but has made some migrants to become terrorists and also terrorists as migrants to other nations. Submitting that the increase in the incidence and magnitude of terrorism from refugees is inescapable and inseparably.
