All the points in this piece are accurate but a lesser known advantage of migration has to do with civilians (women and children especially) being able to flee brutal civil wars in their lands. Fighters/militants/terrorists depend on a civilian population to shelter them and provide food, etc. When the civilian population is able to escape the fighting factions, these violent men are left alone to (stupidly) kill each other off, and the conflict is likely to fizzle sooner, so people can return. This point is expanded in the book, "Let Their People Come" by Lant Pritchett.
