The challenge of migration
Migration – the movement of peoples away from the country of their birth – is a feature of the modern world. In itself it is often positive for the person migrating, and can also be positive for the country they migrate to. But when termed Immigration rather than Migration, and when viewed from the viewpoint of the recipient country’s host population, it is more often seen as problem, and can lead to very divisive politics, with many in the West in particular overtly hostile to immigration and immigrants. What, if anything, can be done about this?
