LIGHT ON Bliki

The so-called immigration critics want to argue that their agenda is not racist or based on fear or suppression but that they want to apply the freedom of expression in societal debate and highlight the problematic dimensions of humanitarian immigration. The term is meant to convey the ideological argument that immigration (referring here mainly to the asylum and family re-unification) is a topic that is not allowed to be debated or discussed honestly or openly in a society. However, when one reads the “critical” debates by the “critics”, it is obvious that there are no limits to how, for example asylum seekers are described or how the problems they bring to the society are formulated. This dimension remains in the foreground of the debate and the term itself does not prevent the “critics” from expressing their extremely xenophobic views and opinions. A “critic” of immigration is, in reality, a fierce opponent of both the current immigration policy and the immigrants themselves.
