Is the migrant crisis really a crisis at all?

Are we really deep in a one-of-a-kind migrant crisis? Or this is merely a manufactured and unfounded political discourse that has firmly lodged, in the national imagination, the notion that there are "too many foreigners in France," and that these foreigners surely mean us harm? Louis Imbert advances analyses as solidly constructed as they are accessible about these received ideas and simplistic readings of the migrant phenomenon, that we may all begin building healthier relationships with foreigners—relationships founded on the values we collectively choose to promote.
