Migration has become one of the most debated and politically contested issues all around the globe. Migration elicits opposition and diverse reactions from Singapore to Chile, from Australia to Denmark, and from South Africa to Canada. This often becomes clear during presidential elections, as exemplified by the 2012 elections in the United States and France, or after particularly shocking events, like the death of migrants at the border, become the focus of media reports and condemnation by different actors.
