From ‘Stop the Boats’ to ‘Build the Wall’, mass migration is the
great upheaval of our times, opening a poisonous political divide.
Will population movement really tip our world into chaos as the
populists and far-right agitators warn? Will democracies have to
choose between mass migration or low growth? Are hardliners like
Italy’s Meloni or Hungary’s Orbán really cutting migration to their
countries like they say? And what does “solving” migration even
mean? Just days after Suella Braverman’s incendiary Commons speech
and Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick’s theatrical resignation
over the Rwanda policy, Gavin Esler looks for answers with Prof
Hein de Haas, author of How Migration Really Works.
• “Immigration is the price you pay for being a wealthy market
economy. That’s the bottom line.” • “Migration rhetoric is a
vote-winner but it’s very dishonest… We have to be aware of
what politicians say and what they do.” • “The Rwanda policy
is an act of desperation. It’s been a huge failure and a political
distraction.” Buy How Migration Really Works through our new
