A fortnight ago, CNN ran a devastating film shot undercover in Libya, showing young migrants from Nigeria being auctioned into slavery. There has been a complete failure to agree a fair process for resettlement of refugees across the 28 member states. Last year, the New York declaration on refugees and migrants tried to lay the framework for a positive approach. Migrants want to work, and they want to be able to send cash home. A humane policy for migrants would make it easier to distinguish and meet our obligations to refugees, those who flee in fear.
