Space Invaders: Dishonesty and racism in reports about undocumented migrants in the EU
My latest about reports of undocumented migration into the EU. From the piece:
For added emotional effect and in case anyone was under the impression that these are human beings moving across borders, the Wall Street Journal quotes Austrian Home Affairs Minister Johanna Mikl-Leitner who described the Greek-Turkish border “as open as a barn door”. You know, a barn where untamed animals might escape from and the not so subtle implication that anyone leaving outside EU borders is some kind of beast; I suppose any association to Orwell’s Animal Farm was unintended for Minister Mikl-Leitner.
For the past decade and a half I have been making all my content available for free (and never behind a paywall) as an ongoing practice of ephemeral publishing. This site is no exception. If you wish to help offset my labor costs, you can donate on Paypal or you can subscribe to Patreon where I will not be putting my posts behind a lock but you'd be helping me continue making this work available for everyone. Thank you. Follow me on Twitter for new post updates.
