    Worth a read, really a very good article! Highly recommend!

    That said, TL;DR:

    Rather than addressing the structural drivers of migration, EU migration agreements are exacerbating the socioeconomic fragilities that compel people to move.

    It’s colonialism.

    The EU has a bearbones wealth transfer development mechanism within the EU. Why would it pay for a far more expensive system to develop parts of the world outside the EU?

    Even a NAFTA like system would be very unpopular as it would shift a lot of industry and jobs outside the EU.
