INTRODUCTION The recent film The Day After Tomorrow reveals a Hollywood version of a very real problem. After scientists discover a devastating storm caused by global climate change developing over the United States, the government evacuates the southern half of the United States. Hundreds of millions of people flee and settle in crowded refugee camps throughout Mexico.1 The film illustrates the poten- tially disastrous consequences of mass displacement caused by environmental crises. * J.D. candidate, 2006, Georgetown University Law Center; M.P.P. candidate, 2006, Georgetown Public Policy Institute; B.S., 2000, Vanderbilt University.
