Each new migratory crisis, Europe trembles. Last week was the death of 27 people. The dream of leaving hell behind ended at the bottom of the icy waters of the English Channel. Each new migratory crisis spills the responsibilities in the proliferation of the human trafficking mafias, making believe that we have a wild card to end them, hardening their persecution and repression on the maritime borders. If it is so simple, why are there no results?
The immigration drama is that by dint of manipulating its effects, we have not understood the principles on which a continent like ours should act. Be in waters of the strait, at paso de Calais or on the border with Belarus, the first thing is to consider what responsibility we have so that totally avoidable deaths do not occur.

Before opening major political debates, -like the one yesterday in Calais between interior ministers-, sterile and without a clear horizon, we must avoid that along the way we are accomplices in the death of people we persecute, for the “crime “of trying to move towards a dignified life. The first obligation is to save them. They will say that the call effect, but it is false. The arrival of immigrants works through a more basic principle, the supply and demand of labor.
The lack of help it is only the beginning of the subsequent failure to generate a migratory framework that can stop human trafficking and block the way to the mafias that manage it. Where now you climb walls you have to open doors legally, controlling entry based on logical criteria and quotas. But it cannot be done in one country, it has to be one common policy of the whole EU and the afraid infused by ultranationalist movements more radicals are preventing it. The result is that we do not know what to do with the migrants, so the sooner they disappear from view, the better. That is the common immigration policy. As if we don’t need them, as if they don’t exist.
