Rising housing costs push more Europeans towards homelessness #EuropeanUnion
Just because Trump, Vance, Hegseth et al. continually attack the EU with regard to immigration, it does not follow that EU policies on this issue are anything to celebrate.
In fact, once one strips way the Brusselese, they are less distant than one might hope from those espoused by the US.
>>EU political elites tend to hide their harshest policies behind bureaucratic language and references to administrative necessity. Cash-for-migration deals are referred to as “partnerships”, deportation becomes “return management”, and those being forcibly sent home are cast as “criminals”, “illegals” or “irregular”.
The dehumanising language is meant to shift attention away from rights and dignity toward control, deterrence and enforcement, thereby making it easier to justify detention, pushbacks, accelerated procedures and collective suspicion.<<
