To reiterate a point, we were talking about Mexican emigration into the United States but it must be said that much of that is the result of United States-IMF agriculture policies. It comes down to looking at the root reasons - apart from war or conflict - for people leaving.
What can we do where the framework is allowing the EU to partner with countries that have appalling human rights abuses? The Trócaire document mentions Eritrea and Sudan. It is mind-boggling.
