I am really suprised that this government does this after building success on xenophobia.
after complaints of staff shortages in sectors including tourism and construction.
Opportunism and Hypocritism
They need migrants so that they can continue to have a platform on xenophobia. Their voters can’t connect the dots, they will just vote for whoever signals a “hard course against migrants”, regardless if their actual policies will result in more immigration.
I really don’t like how the article (like so many others) uses the term “illegal migrants” for “asylum seekers”. Entering an EU country seeking asylum is a priori legal. That’s the entire point of asylum law.
This is particularly bad when the descriptor “illegal” is applied to the person (“migrant”) rather than the act of entering a country (“migration”). Humans can not be illegal.
“Undocumented” or “irregular” are the words to use in this case.
