Family Members and Skilled Workers

political parties: In this version of identity politics the immigrants are cast as a problem whether they're skilled workers, reuniting with family members, or desperately fleeing a failed state, according to Huffington Post Canada. But very often it the vulnerable refugee that is cast as the biggest threat to the host country economic well-being and/or its public safety. Several political parties in Europe have adopted anti-immigrant platforms and their leaders have successfully exploited people fears and insecurities to build voter support. There can be a political price to be paid for several European governments seen as being overly generous towards refugees. Hence, support for them isn't an obvious vote getter. Historically in Europe and elsewhere refugees have never been the most popular class of immigrants. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
