🎙️ Episode title:
“Integration or Reimmigration: The Alternative the Economy Doesn’t Tell”
🎧 Script:
I’m attorney Fabio Loscerbo, and this is Integration or Reimmigration — the podcast that explores the new European paradigm on migration, where law, identity, and responsibility meet.
In recent years, Europe has been repeating the same sentence: “We cannot do without immigration.”
It has become an automatic formula — a way to address the demographic crisis, the labor shortage, and fears about the sustainability of welfare systems.
But behind this apparently pragmatic view lies a serious mistake: it reduces the human being to a unit of labor and forgets that coexistence is built first and foremost on shared values.
Today, data show that non-EU citizens make up about six percent of Europe’s total population — nearly twenty-nine million people out of more than four hundred forty-nine million.
Yet most of these movements happen through legal channels, not through the irregular routes so often portrayed in the media.
The real issue, therefore, is not how many arrive, but how many truly integrate.
Europe has invested more than twenty-two billion euros between 2021 and 2027 to manage migration and borders, but it still lacks a common principle — a standard of verifiable integration.
Those who come and wish to stay should enter a clear process based on three pillars: work, language, and respect for the law.
That is the minimum foundation for genuine belonging.
Those who choose not to integrate should be able to return to their country of origin.
This is not a forced deportation, but a model of Reimmigration — a structured return that represents the natural continuation of immigration law and its legal evolution.
It’s not enough to manage migration; it must be governed.
It’s not enough to count who enters; we must understand who integrates and who does not.
Only then can Europe become a community that welcomes those who share its values and directs elsewhere those who choose not to.
Integration or Reimmigration is not an ethical proposal — it is a legal paradigm.
It defines a new balance between freedom and order, solidarity and duty, openness and identity.
