If you assume that the future will be basically like the past (untrue, but better than most assumptions), then the answers are:
1. It doesn't now, it can't now, and it won't be able to then. But it definitely won't stop trying.
2. Yes, in much the same way they have basic rights now. Which is to say, they will enjoy what their culture thinks of as basic rights, but probably not what you think of as basic rights.
3. No.
4. Yes, just as people have sought to flee every country in the past or present.
