Europe’s migration laws are set for an overhaul. The EU Migration and Asylum Pact hardens border procedures, speeds up the return of irregular migrants to their home countries, and forces the bloc’s 27 nations to share responsibility. The reforms have been objected to by the far right and left
Make legal immigration easier, and punish illegal immigration and crime.
It’s time to end the refugee treaties entirely, they aren’t fit for purpose.
Bukele is the way.
While I agree that these “refugee treaties” that aim to retain refugees in unsafe 3rd countries (like Libya) are a human rights violation, it is simply wrong to call refugees “illegal” immigrants. Both national asylum laws and international ones (Geneva Convention) clearly recognize refugees as legitimate.
Furthermore, criminalizing immigrants that don’t fall into the narrow legal refugee statue, for example “climate refugees” is absolutely counter-productive and also a human rights violation.
