Ban Ki-moon and the dawn of the migration age

Ban Ki Moon cannot be more right. Migration showed to be good in the past, and it still does. All the questions about ifs and maybes are ones of direct unfamiliarity with migration across borders. Whatever the problems of migration, the positives are way heavier. Migrants learn new things, same as the natives. People from different ethnic groups get to know one another better than before, and this reduces greatly potential for violence on the scale of the World Wars 1 an 2 (wholly participated by members of one race basically). Migration strengthens understanding of common humanity and iron out differences, a major contribution to chucking fascism into the bin.
