Right-Wing Anti-Immigrant Parties in Europe: Rhetoric vs. Reality

Recently, right-wing anti-immigrant parties have been gaining power in several European countries. However, their immigration policies often do not align with their campaign promises. An article from The Economist highlights this discrepancy:

Italy, under the hard-right government led by Giorgia Meloni, saw Agriculture Minister Francesco Lollobrigida urging Italians to have more babies or risk being “replaced” by foreigners. Despite this rhetoric, Lollobrigida has advocated for more visas for agricultural workers. Meloni, while attempting to send off asylum-seekers for processing in Albania, is open to controlled labor immigration.

Italy’s agriculture sector faces a shortage of 200,000 workers annually, with a significant portion of the workforce being foreigners. The younger Italian population perceives agricultural work as strenuous, leading to a reliance on migrant labor, both documented and undocumented.

A similar trend is observed in Poland and the Netherlands:

The Law and Justice party in Poland, known for its anti-non-European immigration stance, significantly increased work permits issued to Asians and Latin Americans. In the Netherlands, the hard-right government comprises anti-immigrant groups alongside the Farmer Citizen Movement, highlighting the tension between immigration policies and agricultural labor needs.

In the United States, the issue of immigration has also caused divisions within the GOP:

Former President Donald Trump, who garnered support from anti-immigration voters, has faced conflicting views within the GOP regarding immigration. A divide exists between social conservatives advocating for reduced immigration and business conservatives favoring increased immigration. Trump himself has shown support for skilled immigrant workers, acknowledging the benefits of visa programs.

However, the debate over immigration remains complex, with concerns over illegal immigration impacting industries such as agriculture, hospitality, and construction. Balancing enforcement measures with economic considerations presents a challenge for policymakers.

Historically, economic downturns have proven effective in reducing illegal immigration. The evolving dynamics of this issue will be crucial to monitor in the coming months.
