Global migration crisis: What solutions do politicians have? | To The Point

They are desperate. They have little choice. They are escaping from war, persecution, and even the effects of climate change. In search of a better life, they are taking up dangerous journeys. Their hope is to find a more promising future...

However, this hope often leads to crowded refugee camps, as we've recently seen in Lampedusa, where an increasing number of refugees endure harsh and inhumane conditions. A similar situation unfolds at the US-Mexico border, where many face the grim reality of not being recognized as asylum-seekers. The host countries appear overwhelmed and are increasingly showing a harder stance in their approach. Even the most expensive deals are not able to stop the tide of illegal immigration.

So, on ‘To The Point’ we are asking: Global migration crisis: What solutions do politicians have?
