A review of the Dutch sociologist Hein de Hass's new book, (How Migration Really Works: A Factful Guide to the Most Divisive Issue in Politics).

Abstract

In his new book (How Migration Really Works), that divided into three parts and contains 22 chapters, based on research and data de Haas debunks 22 myths about migration and reveals the truth. The first myth that de Haas focuses on is: (Migration is at an all-time high). The second myth the author talks about is that (borders cannot be controlled). He continues and in Myth 11: (Mass migration has produced mass segregation) de Haas discusses the myth and argues that "segregation is not alarmingly high". In Myth 16: (Borders are closing down) and Myth 21: (Border restrictions reduce immigration) he tries to debunk these myths based on research and data. (Climate change will lead to mass migration) is the last of the myths that he deals with in his book.
