A fair migration policy (Eine Gerechte Migrationspolitik)

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

In the future, I would like to see an improved migration policy. Among these, migration policy should be characterised primarily by social justice. This means that everything that is currently in violation of human rights in migration is to be dismantled. This human rights problem includes deportations back to their home country, although refugees have the right to asylum. The aim is therefore to create safe and legal means of escape, so that smugglers are also combated and vessels are not completely overcrowded. By doing so, it will lead to fewer victims in the Mediterranean and thus better respect for human rights.
It is also essential to reform EU asylum law and the Dublin agreement, as countries wishing to grant asylum to refugees should be able to do so, even if they did not first land in that country. This would greatly improve and speed up the reception process of refugees and migrants.
In order to be fair within EU Member States during a refugee crisis, the distribution of refugees should depend on the economic situation of the EU countries. This will be determined on the basis of the distribution key, so that more solidarity can be created between Member States when reception of refugees is hampered by high unemployment or stagnating GDP. It also aims to subsidise countries hosting refugees and reduce EU funding for those who refuse to do so.
The economic and social aspects of migration need to be taken into account in particular when the issue of integration arises. Segregation is to be dismantled within a city, e.g. the Banlieues, where a multicultural approach is taken so as not to create parallel societies. The state has to spend money to ensure that migrants can be integrated as much as possible through language courses, cultural learning and education, with a view to increasing the labour force in the nation in the long term, so that the country’s economic productivity can increase.
Finally, in the face of climate change, this migration policy must also be made compatible in a sustainable way. To make this possible first and foremost, refugee and migration policies will use the SDGs. If all of these were to be used in the refugee issue, social justice, the economic aspects and the sustainable side could be agreed very effectively. In order to be able to do so, the EU would then need to create a further legal framework to provide the legal basis for social justice, economic efficiency and sustainability.

The world is at peace. People came to their senses when they were on the brink of war. All borders have been abolished - everyone can move freely. Through the exchange of knowledge and culture, we have expanded our horizons, and scientists have made many discoveries. No one is excluded, everyone works together. It is not money that counts, but skills that can be developed. We behave responsibly towards the nature around us - we understood that we create a symbiosis.

2040?2050? 2025? It's time to take stock, because nature is still suffering, despite all the warnings. Remember, it's not that long ago, it was 15 years ago, and even more so now, but our politicians still don't give a damn. And war? of course it's still with us, and it's costing our so-called free nations more and more. Free from Trump and the mad right, fortunately, because remember how much we have suffered from so many lies, so much false information... But Russia and China have banded together against Europe and America, along with certain African countries. Fortunately, Latin America remains neutral. A sad vision of our world in 2040, led by a pseudo-artificial intelligence that has cut off all human relationships. No more flowers to put on the cannons, which in fact no longer exist, given that conflicts are delivered by drones. The plan was to deliver parcels and medicines by this means, but no, the conflict in Ukraine, which was 15 years ago, was just the beginning of this new way of fighting. Fewer dead soldiers, but more civilians buried, not to say smoked out, like 95 years ago. Fortunately, Europe has become more united, to become the lighthouse that many had hoped for, without really believing in it.

In my future I would like more funding for schools and health care and fewer weapons. Europe would be stronger and more influential in the world economy, not in an overbearing way but to be a support for even the most struggling countries. In my future, diversity will be a matter of course and accepted, not an excuse to be able to marginalize what is different. However, we should not all become equal (in dignity, freedom and rights yes) but learn to value our individuality and that of others. In my future, Europe will value the cultures of every country on the continent. Culture will not be a means by which we "prove ourselves superior to others," but a treasure to be shared and known. In addition, the problem of pollution will finally be addressed and fought with all the necessary tools, not with empty promises and indifference.

In 2040, the political situation in my country could be very different. All projects funded with taxpayers' money would be public, and there would be no corruption or profiteering. Also, by 2040, the use to which all tax revenues are put could be clearly known, and these taxes should also improve people's lives - for example, fuel excise duty or car tax should ensure that roads are in good condition and seasonally maintained.
