Abstract Migration is one of the most hotly debated, but also one of the least understood public issues. The main problem is not so much a lack of knowledge, but rather the polarized nature of the migration debate, particularly its framing in simplistic, dichotomous pro- and anti-terms. Indeed, debates have become so polarized that most nuance gets lost, with pro- and anti-migration camps often exaggerating the harms and benefits of migration by cherry-picking only the facts that fit their narrative.
