In the context of International Migrants Day, JRS Europe Director Alberto Ares delivered a conference in Valencia titled "Debunking Migration Myths: Five Uncomfortable Truths." This event, organized by SJM Valencia, provided an important platform to address common misconceptions surrounding migration. Here are some important insights from the discussion: 1. Migration levels remain steady and are vital for economic growth. 2. Migrants contribute more to state economies than they receive in aid. 3. Contrary to common belief, migration does not increase crime rates; rather, regularization enhances security. 4. Migrants fill crucial roles that complement local labour markets, rather than displacing native workers. 5. Walls do not stop migration. Policies focused on inclusion and human dignity are the way forward. As Alberto Ares emphasized, "We must live as witnesses of hope, rooted in our values and passionate in our purpose." Let’s work together to foster understanding and shape policies that embrace diversity, justice, and shared prosperity.

2wLa migración siempre es positiva, son los gobiernos con sus políticas dilatorias que dañan, llegando a ser en muchos casos nueva forma de esclavitud (trabajo en negro) ..lo digo por mi propia experiencia acá en España .
