FCK Frontex and the idea of Fortress Europe. The make the Mediterranean Sea a mass grave.
Europe doesn't have a migration problem, it has an integration problem.
Demographic changes affect the whole continent. We need migration to keep pension funds and healthcare insurance alive.
We just completely failed to integrate migrants into society, fight poverty (especially among the youth) and offer chances to grow and self realize.
Just pointing out that this is a straw-man, and that discussions get better without them.
I was wondering if I had to go into why straw-men are bad for a discussion, but figured odds were likely you already knew. But assuming the goal is to find common ground and/or convince other people, then including straw-men makes those people assume you're not understanding their point, and then dismissing the rest of whatever you're trying to say.
I hope it's more useful now.
