This literature review aims to explore the complex relationship between immigration paradigms, global mobility, and national resilience with Indonesia as a comparative case. To deepen understanding of the various elements of immigration policies and their impact on resilience, key theoretical frameworks such as push-pull theory, securitization theory, and global migration governance are analyzed. To this end, breakthroughs in migration tracking, such as big data and AI, are explored for possible contribution. From the review, there are substantial gaps in the literature, including under-researched locations and the need for cross-disciplinary studies that combine sociopolitical, economic, and environmental perspectives. Informed by developing challenges such as climate-induced migration and the significance of developing technology, future studies are suggested. The findings suggest that integrating immigrants can enhance the national resilience of host countries; however, the process is nuanced and depends on political, economic, and social factors. The importance of this paper is in recommending a more holistic approach to the study of immigration that would incorporate the interplay of various elements and uphold ethical research practices. By highlighting Indonesia, this review helps to increase the understanding of how immigration paradigms influence national resilience in different locations
