Send Them Home Is Too Simplistic is a nuanced book about migration, asylum, integration, the rule of law, and political order. It shows why simple slogans such as "everyone out" or "everyone in" do not do justice to the complexity of the issue, and why a functioning migration policy must reconcile humanity, control, state capacity, and social stability. Instead of ideological trench warfare, this book offers a clear political framework for understanding the migration debate - factual, accessible, and beyond fear, moralism, and populist simplifications.
This book is intended for readers who want to gain a well-founded understanding of the migration debate, asylum policy, immigration, integration, Europe, the rule of law, and democratic order. It explains the differences between refuge, asylum, labor migration, and immigration, analyzes the causes of public uncertainty, and develops the principles of a realistic, fair, and functional migration policy for Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Europe.
What you can expect from this book:
• A clear framework for the migration debate beyond fear, slogans, and ideological reflexes
• Accessible explanations of asylum, refuge, labor migration, integration, and repatriation
• An analysis of why many states, and Europe as well, appear overwhelmed in migration policy
• Concrete principles for a humane, law-based, and enforceable migration policy
• A political approach that brings together order, human dignity, democracy, and social stability
This book is for everyone who does not want to settle for catchphrases, but truly wants to understand migration policy in Europe.
