    I don’t like the article. Finishes with quoting AfD, like giving those words the relevance of being the “one” truth. Other quotes, to center-left politicians were along the same line, and the article only criticism was that they are just trying to keep up with the far-right narrative. Yet, the article misses completely the opportunity to offer any other perspective. I hope there’s other ways to seeing this “criminal - migrant/ refugee” correlation. First and foremost, correlation doesn’t imply causation. Secondly, refugee and migrant are two different things. Thirdly, “migrant” is full of ambiguity that needs to be presented: a proportion of skilled workers are migrants too.

    But I did like Biden’s move. Many migrants and refugee need to work. Providing the means to do so, or removing some of the restrictions can help integration to their new society.

      Still an interesting read for those who bothered to read it. There is also an interesting discussion to be had, because migration is very much needed into all western countries, but a growing part of the public seems to dislike it, hence the rise of the far right in both the US and the EU.
