The current mass exodus of people from Central America to the United States, with the daily headline-grabbing stories of numerous children involuntarily separated from their parents, means it’s time to remind my readers once again of one of the primary causes of these periodic mass migrations.

Israel preserved a tribal idea of citizenship that followers of Trump and Europe’s far-right now seek to emulate
Middle East Eye – 13 July 2018
Polarisation within western societies on issues relating to migration and human rights has been intensifying over recent weeks and months. To many observers, it looks suspiciously as if an international order in place since the end of the second world – one that emphasised universal rights as a way to prevent dehumanisation and conflict – is rapidly unravelling in Europe and the United States.

I teach journalism. So, of course, I follow journalism closely.
On the immigration issue, many news outlets have been doing a great job covering the rallies and marches, the “baby jails” and rulings and (few) family reunifications.
But they lack context.

In June 2018 alone, more than 500 refugees drowned in the Mediterranean Sea. Their boats were refused access to land in either Malta, or Italy. They were force-driven back by gun-boats to the North African shores they came from, mostly Libya, but many boats capsized and countless refugees didn’t make it.

From the United States to Europe, the “migrant crisis” is causing bitter interior and international controversy about the policies which need to be adopted concerning the migrant flow. However, these movements are being represented by a cliché which is the opposite of reality – that of the “rich countries” obliged to suffer the growing migratory pressure of the “poor countries”. This misrepresentation hides its basic cause – the world economic system which enables a restricted minority to accumulate wealth at the expense of the growing majority, by impoverishing them and thus provoking forced emigration.

Humanity’s ‘Dirty Little Secret’: Starving, Enslaving, Torturing and Killing Our ChildrenBy Robert J. Burrowes, June 25, 2018
Every day, according to some estimates, human adults kill 50,000 of our children. The true figure is probably significantly higher. We kill children in wars. See, for example, ‘Scourging Yemen’. We kill them with drones. We kill them in our homes and on the street. We shoot them at school. Continue reading this...

1. Human rights violations at Spain’s southern border: steps towards restoring legality
14 December 2017 — IRR
This has been a horrendous year for deaths of migrants, asylum seekers and foreign nationals across Europe, whether it be in the Mediterranean, at land borders, during the deportation process, in prisons, immigration removal centres or inadequately funded reception centres. In the final series of articles, asylum campaigner John Grayson throws a spotlight on the deaths of migrants, including suicides, in direct provision hostels in Ireland. A number of other deaths, including that of Polish national Michael Netyks in Altcourse prison in Merseyside, are recorded in our regular calendar of racism and resistance, a fortnightly resource for anti-racist and social justice campaigns.

No one should be stigmatised, harassed or prosecuted for saving lives at sea or assisting weary and displaced people at a border. This week, the IRR launches its new report Humanitarianism: the unacceptable face of solidarity which charts the hostile political and legal environment facing humanitarian actors who seek to protect life at Europe’s land and sea borders. On 4 December, we will be discussing the report with colleagues from Watch The Med and Médecins Sans Frontières. We invite you to join us for this launch event – but please note that registration for this meeting is essential, as space is limited.
