Thanks Jane =) How's everything?
agree Patricia Rosas : I prefer this because "harmony" --in the sense of a "happy" or "balanced" state -- doesn't reflect the reality of international migration ...

fully in step with

this is another option. Despite the musical metaphor, I'm not comfortable with a statement that would imply that international migration meshes "harmoniously" with the things mentioned -- that simply isn't the case. But this type of migration does go hand-in-hand with the processes of gobalization.
