The debate(s) over migration involve two clear lapses:
1. we might want to ask ourselves what makes people take such awful risks to leave their homes.... we need to be compassionate not suspicious;
2. what the evidence shows again & again is that migrants are not a drain on society, they make a positive contribution once they are here & have been allowed to get on with their lives.
To deny these two lapses either directly or by staying silent is to collude with the haters!
