Migration is International and so Should Response Efforts

Sweden, historically an emigrant nation, has become a significant migrant destination, with 20% of its population born abroad. The influx, particularly from the Middle East, has fueled support for the far-right Swedish Democrats. Meanwhile, Jordan, with a refugee population comprising 33% of its population, faces severe socio-economic and resource strains. Despite its economic hardships, Jordan provides substantial aid to refugees, worsening its own challenges. The EU, facing relatively minor issues, should assist countries like Jordan, fostering cooperation rather than portraying itself as the sole victim of migration.
