By This week’s high-profile visits to the Texas border by President Biden and former President Trump were predictable campaign theater. Both candidates pointed an accusing finger at the other, assigning blame for a problem that deeply concerns many voters. The failure last month of the latest immigration reform package on Capitol Hill further highlights what has become a decades-old policy stalemate. But the issue isn’t going away, and neither party can afford to ignore the crisis.

«La grande migrazione climatica è iniziata». «La crisi climatica potrebbe causare la migrazione di 1,2 miliardi di persone entro il 2050». «La migrazione sarà presto la più grande sfida climatica del nostro tempo». Questi sono solo alcuni dei titoli apparsi sulle principali testate internazionali. Riflettono la convinzione largamente condivisa che il cambiamento climatico porterà a migrazioni di massa.

‘Grip op migratie’ was hét politieke mantra van de afgelopen verkiezingscampagne. De meeste verkiezingsprogramma’s stonden bol van de wens om immigratie in te perken. Alleen waren politici aanzienlijk minder duidelijk hoe ze deze doelstelling kunnen halen. Dit wreekt zich vaker bij politieke discussies over migratie: het gaat vaak over politiek wensdenken, zonder dat men erbij uitlegt via welke beleidsmaatregelen ze dit tot stand wil brengen. En hier wringt de schoen.

We seem to be living in times of unprecedented mass migration. Images of people from Africa crammed into unseaworthy boats desperately trying to cross the Mediterranean, asylum seekers crossing the Channel into Britain, and “caravans” of migrants trying to reach the Mexico-US border all seem to confirm fears that global migration is spinning out of control.

A convincing argument that most of what we believe about immigration is wrong. De Haas, a professor of sociology at the University of Amsterdam and founding member of Oxford’s International Migration Institute, has spent his career investigating migration, but whenever he speaks before a general audience, the result is “petty bickering.” Provided one is not an ideologue, it’s entertaining when an expert debunks popular myths, and the author debunks one in each of his 22 chapters.
