We need safe and legal pathways for people who want to come here. Stop sending them back. Stop pushing them back. Stop beating them at the borders. Let people in, let them access good jobs and let then guarantee a future for Europe.

"Yet we have the senseless spectacle of governments all over Europe freaking out about the pensions time bomb, while at the same time standing over migration and asylum policies designed to violently keep out the very young people who could defuse that bomb. Our already—overwhelmed health services will sink altogether without the migration needed to redress the balance between young and old". #SafePassage

"Our political attitudes to migration, frankly, are a form of collective lunacy. At the end of 2021, the share of refugees in the EU was 0.6% compared to its total population – 0.6%! It’s embarrassing that we spend so much time on this tiny number of people".

"This is not a hard problem to deal with. It’s actually not a problem at all. It’s an opportunity. We need safe and legal pathways for people who want to come here. Stop pushing them back. Stop sending them back. Stop beating them at the borders. Stop allowing the opportunists on the right to set the terms of this debate. Let people in. Let them access good jobs and let them guarantee, in that, a future for Europe".

It's a pity that the so-called "European Left" doesn't have the moral stature to subscribe to the point of @ClareDalyMEP :
"Europe’s population is aging. Over the next 30 years, our active workforce will decrease by 50 million. Without migration, we face enormous problems to keep our societies going". #SafePassage
