Is Migration Really the Fault of Deporting Countries?
Did you know that no one wants to leave their home, their family, or their friends? So why are millions of people migrating every year?
Imagine this: you’re in a boat, rowing against a strong current. You don’t want to be there, but the place you came from gave you no choice. That’s what millions of migrants face every single day.
And here’s the point: the blame doesn’t lie with the countries deporting these people. The real issue is with the countries of origin. Studies show that most migrants don’t want to leave their homes. They just want a dignified life, with opportunities, safety, and stability.
For example, a report by the International Organization for Migration revealed that 70% of global migrants leave their countries due to a lack of jobs, education, or basic security. And according to the UN, countries with higher social inequality have migration rates up to three times higher.
Think of it like a plant. If the soil is poor, the plant won’t grow. It has to find another place to survive. But what if the soil were rich? The plant would never need to leave.
So, what can we do? Here are 3 simple steps to help change this reality:
Educate yourself about the causes of migration. Understanding the problem is the first step toward finding solutions.
Support organizations working to improve conditions in countries of origin. Small actions can have a big impact.
Talk about it. Share information and help change the narrative. The blame isn’t on those sending people back, but on those failing to provide conditions for people to stay.
