This is the Guardian headline:
Spain's right whips up fear as migration surge hits Andalucian shores | World news | The Guardian
And here's one that could be written and I'd argue is more accurate:
Large increase in economic migrants leads to concerns amongst many citizens
Why is it always the "right" that is "whipping up” fear? What about all those independents (me) and lefties that are also concerned. Those on the left concerned, as they should be, at the impact of economic migrants on the wages of the working class.
Then we have this:
....some rightwing politicians have begun to talk of identity papers, more border controls and "millions of Africans" wanting to come to Europe.
"Identify papers"? So what. We have them here in Hong Kong and no one thinks that's a right wing thing. It's an efficiency and extent useful thing.
"... more border controls"? Try *some* border controls. For now there are none.
"millions of Africans", in scare quotes. Why? There aren't millions of africans planning their illegal journeys to Europe? Of course there are.
