Dear Raj and colleagues Thank you so much for this text. I have been publishing an opinion article on somewhat the same topic last year in one of our Belgian newspapers. The rhetoric used on migrants, and especially migrants without a legal permit to stay in the country, is harming the people involved. So yés: thank you for this text, and I fully agree. I am sharing it with colleagues and on social media. best wishes Stéphanie?
