The Attack on DACA: Why Trump’s Mission to End It Would Hurt America
Throughout President Trump’s two terms, he has made it a central focus to try and end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), a piece of legislation that has given hundreds of thousands the ability to stay in America. In his most recent attempt to attack the program, he has declared that various universities are breaking Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits national origin discrimination, with DACA-only scholarships.

Beyond the Wall: Trump’s Escalating War on Hispanic America

Invisible Enemy – Who Do We Fear and How Much?
If you have lived in Hungary in the last 10 years, you sure have gotten used to living with the constant presence of fear by now. We are afraid of Soros, afraid of the Brussels bureaucrats threatening our sovereignty, afraid of the \"pro-war liberals\" and most importantly, we are afraid of \"migrants\". There were several enemies introduced to the Hungarian population by the governing Fidesz-KDNP party alliance, including \"migrants\".

Immigration Is Not Threat To The Czech Economy; It Keeps It Running
In debates over immigration, one key fact often gets lost: the Czech Republic needs foreign workers. Without them, the economy would stall. The Czech labor market is tight. Unemployment has hovered near record lows for years—around 3% or less, one of the lowest rates in the EU. That might sound like good news, but it hides a structural problem: there are simply not enough people to fill the jobs.

Fighting Back against Populist Scaremongering on Immigration and Gender
Populist parties raise important questions but offer terrible answers, a weakness others should exploit. Populism is by no means a new phenomenon, but recent years have seen a clear rise in parties turning to a more authoritarian, populist strategy of winning over voters. Now, the populist movement has managed to establish a strong position in Europe, and although its popularity is not currently rising, it is not diminishing either.

‘Immigration’ Challenge
The information biases lead to creating a picture of Muslim migrants as homogeneous crowd of Islamists. Even if experts recognize that not all migrants are extremists, it is often emphasised that terrorists fighting in favour of the Islamic State might be among them.

Hungarian Mishaps and Other Misfortunes
Hungarian government started building a fence on the border with Serbia to ward the immigrants off. The construction, stretching over 170 kilometers, is not in any way a solution to the problem of immigration. All that the fence will do is manifest Hungary’s separation from Europe.
