What happens to the economies they leave behind, and what are the consequences, positive and negative, for the countries they move to? voice-verified

Joining me now to discuss this is Jonathan Portes, Professor of Economics and Public Policy at King's College London. voice-verified

Jonathan, first off, can I ask you, what do you think was really going on in Sue last week? voice-verified

And I I get where you're coming from when you look at that from a geopolitical and a macro point of view. voice-verified

But there was also sixty thousand people that got into the water voice-verified

With a view to trying to get into another territory. voice-verified

What do you think was going on there for them? voice-verified

Because that couldn't have just been the Moroccan authorities saying you should do this or it was it? voice-verified

If it was the case that they were aware that this wasn't going to allow them into the Schengen region, why then was the response from the Italian government and other governments across the EU to put stronger border controls around the Schengen area when it didn't seem to be relevant? voice-verified

Okay, but I do want to go to what Ursula Vanderlein said. voice-verified

She said it's clear that we must do more to further strengthen our borders at critical points. voice-verified

So when you say that some of the others were seeking to make political points, overall what has this week taught the EU about managing its own territory? voice-verified

Interestingly though, in contrast, the Draghi report, which has so often been referred to over the past year and a half, has said how critical the role of immigration is when it comes to economic development. voice-verified

But I want to go closer to your own chores for a moment. voice-verified

Ten years ago voice-verified

Many would argue that the Brexit immigration was fought and won, I suppose, by those who were seeking to reduce immigration into the UK. voice-verified

Subsequently, what we've seen is the numbers only have increased. voice-verified

Now they have fallen off since 2023 when they were at a historic net migration reached a historic high of 906,000. voice-verified

I don't necessarily want to focus on numbers though. voice-verified

I would like to talk to you about what has changed. voice-verified
