History of migration, you have a pretty simple core message, which begins with the thought we are, All Of Us, migrants. Now, i understand that in sort of evolutionary terms, but why does that matter to todays debate about migration . It matters because i think we need to appreciate that without migration, there would be no human civilisation, and that it continues to be as relevant as in the past, and will be even more so in the future. We need migrants. We need to appreciate them. Of course, we need to manage migration more effectively, but we need to recognise not only that were all mixed up ourselves in our origins, but that our societies require migration in order to thrive.
