Europe's tightened border controls have led to the drowning of tens of thousands of refugees. Trump has vowed to carry out the largest deportation of immigrants in US history if re-elected. But even those who oppose these cruelties think that we somehow have to control migration. Or should we?
Now, the proportion of migrants has become considerable in South Korea as well. Debates over migration control, such as refugee recognition and the introduction of foreign domestic workers, are becoming more frequent. We will discuss whether it's right to oppose the inflow of migrants because of their poor conditions and what stance we should take on migration control.
