Why are more governments in Europe cracking down on migration?

Recent elections in Europe have seen wins for parties with harsh stances on migration. That mirrors Donald Trump's success in the US. Inflammatory claims shape political debate, while statistics deny a link between rising crime and migration. So why is this happening?

In this Episode:  

• Suzanne Lynch, Associate Editor and author of the Global Playbook newsletter at POLITICO.
• Zoe Gardner, Independent migration policy researcher and advocate of rights-based policies.
• Meghan Benton, Director of the International Program at the Migration Policy Institute, an independent research organisation.
