Time for a fact check and more differentiation: what is justified concern, what is media hype, what is politically motivated scaremongering? What do the crime statistics say? What are the possibilities, opportunities and limits of politically shaped immigration? And what happens to a society whose awareness of the problem is narrowed down to the issue of containing unwanted migration?
Moderation: Hadija Haruna-Oelker and Alf Mentzer
