How about the following:

1) All countries drop their borders.

2) All countries begin taxing especially international companies (Amazon, Apple!) fairly and impose sanctions upon countries currently acting as tax heavens. Also, criminally obtained and stashed profits e.g. of (former) dictators or corrupt officials, gets seized and redistributed.

3) Rich(er) countries use this money to actually improve the conditions in the countries where migration originates, no matter if due to poorness, wars, climate change etc.

As a planet we cannot longer extract and privatize profits from poor regions and people. It is simply not sustainable (and never has been, tbh).

And who will start this particular ball rolling.

There are tax havens in the US - Delaware, UK - London and plenty of other places

Apple's primary tax havens are overseas, with Ireland being a key one (Apple pioneered the so-called "Double Irish" dodge, laundering profits through Ireland incentives twice.)
