A migrant crisis is a difficult or dangerous situation that arises due to the movements of large groups of immigrants (displaced people, refugees or asylum seekers) in the receiving state (destination country).
Migrants are often escaping from conditions which negatively affected them (whether to do with security, the economy, politics or society) in the country of origin (departure).
According to Global Crisis Centre, migrant crisis management is shaped using the definitions and responsibilities outlined in the UN's Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and subsequent Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees and international solidarity and burden-sharing with collaboration, communication and information dissemination, which are needed for solving migratory issues of the world.

According to Salil Shetty, Secretary General of Amnesty International, “It is within world leaders’ power to prevent these crises from spiralling further out of control.
Human rights are a necessity, not an accessory; and the stakes for humankind have never been higher.”Broken resource management toward the immigrants is part of the inability to develop efficient responses to people in need, causing crisis.
According to a New York Times article, thousands of people that migrated to the US in 2022 will fail to meet asylum requirements due to limited access to resources and legal assistance.
