When the extreme is normalised: shifting boundaries in 'acceptable' migration policy - Mixed Migration Centre What once seemed unthinkable in migration policy has become increasingly accepted, reflecting a major shift in political and social norms. This “normalisation of the extreme” illustrates how ideas once outside the mainstream can enter the realm of political acceptability. An essay by Chris Horwood and Bram Frouws.

“Practices labelled ‘extreme’ in 2019 are now so entrenched they'd scarcely be remarkable enough to feature in this year’s review.”

Catherine Woollard- Everyone has an obligation to do what they can in the face of hostile policies, be it the Danish model, the UK model, or the 1930s model; none of these is new. There was resistance before, and there will be resistance now and in the future, in all forms. #MMR2025

One thing the Trump regime has done is eliminate the oversight bodies where complaints could be lodged in case of abuse, so now the community agents are taking these stories of what is happening.- @pedroconsafos.bsky.social #MMR2025

Economic realities play a major role, and we can expect governments to use migration as a response, but my question is whether this will change the narrative on migration. You can do that quietly while remaining very vocal against migration.- Carlos Vargas @cvar-sil.bsky.social #MMR2025

Catherine Woollard- In Europe, we have every single state desperately trying to bring in people to meet labour shortages, but also hostility toward migrants and refugees and promises of anti-migrant policies. We have politicians making promises they cannot or do not intend to keep. #MMR2025

As storytellers, we have enormous power, and many groups are underrepresented or misrepresented in migration stories. Too often, it is governments and politicians who shape the narrative, and we need to give people the space to speak in their own voice. #MMR2025

Migration is often framed as a simple question of coming or going, but when you sit with people, you realize there are complex layers. As a storyteller, you need to understand the structure that leads people to make different choices. -Jacqueline Baylon
