15. Migration crisis? What migration crisis? – Hein de Haas

Most of what you think you know about migration is probably incorrect. Listening to professor of sociology Hein de Haas, director of the International Migration Institute, makes one realize that both the media and the politicians have got the whole thing wrong:

  • Migration would be less dramatic with more open borders.
  • Poverty and conflict don’t drive most of migration, labor demand does.
  • The concept of climate refugees has no scientific basis.

”People say I shouldn't say these things in public”, says Hein de Haas. ”But I think we need to be able to deal with the truth.”

Here are some other no-nonsense quotes:

”The Turkey deal (between the EU and Turkey) shows we aren't too worried about what happens to refugees.”

”International migration has been remarkably stable over the decades at around three percent of the population.”

”Nine out of ten Africans that move to Europe do so legally.”

”There is a tendency at the UN and other organizations to paint a misleading picture that we are facing a migration crisis. This can actually undermine refugee protection.”

”The main cause of migration is quite simply labor demand. There is a huge level of hypocrisy around this.”

”When borders are relatively open, migrants don’t stay permanently. When borders are harder to cross, they stay.”

”Mobility should be considered a freedom in its own right. And it really doesn’t matter if you use it or not. It’s like the right to vote or run for office.”
