Given its close proximity to a deadly conflict in Syria and countries marked by extreme poverty, human-rights abuses, and weak or collapsed states and economies, the EU is inevitably a magnet for migrants and asylum-seekers. That is why it needs a migration policy that reflects the values on which it was founded.
因为靠近发生致命冲突的叙利亚，靠近以极端贫困、人权践踏和政府及经济衰落崩溃闻名的战乱国家，欧盟必然像磁铁一样吸引着寻求庇护者和移民。欧盟因此需要制定能反映其价值观的移民政策。不幸的是，卑劣的政治算计压倒了对生命的尊重。
