Interesting question! Before identifying countries in which to advocate, I think we’d need to
1. More precisely define what the goals are → I’d infer from your post that you see poverty reduction as the main goal; other considerations could be to reduce suffering caused by family separation, exploitation of irregular migrants, or inequality, for example;
2. Identify the factors that we’d use to determine which countries would be the best places to advocate for more permissive immigration policy → the importance, tractability, neglectedness framework is a useful starting point but would need to be fleshed out;
3. Use the above factors to assess which countries would be the best places in which to advocate for more permissive immigration policy;
4. Assess whether the impact of dedicating time and money to this cause outweighs the impact of putting the time and money into something else.
I don’t have time right now to flesh out the analysis but would be very interested in hearing others’ thoughts!
