Refugee crisis in Europe is a severe issue which makes European leaders acknowledge the crisis due to a lot of deaths found on Lampedusa.

The EU can not reach consensus on addressing migration issues.

Solutions: frontiers should be stricter, strategy using humanitarian and hard-headed. However it would scar the EU’s image as a beacon of liberal values and cause trouble for asylum seekers

Migration is not easy to address -> create debate among politicians

If a deal is not possible in a time of relative calm, then waiting for a crisis becomes the only option. Although it was a hoary old solution to European deadlock, a similar approach on economic matters worked this summer. EU leaders took a political leap of faith by issuing mutual debt for the first time. The trouble is that the EU had to suffer its worst-ever economic slump to get there. A big enough crisis may do something similar when it comes to asylum, creating the political space for compromise. But a breakthrough will come only at an unconscionably high price.

Fights over money or industrial policy are comparatively simple to settle. Cash can be shuffled around on a spreadsheet. Regulatory leeway for cherished industries can be haggled over. No such easy fixes exist when it comes to migration. Taking in refugees is a decades-long commitment, which requires political consent. Integration is difficult to do well, even when a government is willing, never mind if people are being foisted upon their hosts.

Even this approach may flounder. The last crisis still poisons the debate, even though things are different now. Between 2015 and 2016, 1.4M jumped the border. Now only around 140,000 people arrive every year in an “irregular” manner. Calmer heads should prevail. After all, most migration is legal and well organised, points out Ylva Johansson, the commissioner for home affairs, who oversees the reforms. About 2.5M people move to the EU each year, while 1M leave—just the ticket for an ageing bloc fond of welfare spending. “De-dramatising” the situation is the commission’s main aim, says Ms Johansson. But when it comes to refugees, EU leaders swiftly become drama queens.
