Each State should then begin by promoting reforms to their national legislation on migration and, to be worthy of the name and to make them truly genuine, they should forsake hypocritical policies that keep the front door of the house open to the wealthy, while the poor are only allowed access through the service door. All of this happens while undocumented migrants remain under the Damocles sword threat of flash detentions and deportations separating them from their family and children, as happens in the US at the times of Trump. This is a threat that also serves as a cruel formula for exploitation and de facto restriction of human rights and labour benefits, as it leaves employees absolutely defenseless before their employers. However, if we examine specific situations andcompare migratory policies of the EU with that of the US, it is evident that Europeans have tried to stay within the margins of their own legality and political correctness. Despite the European economic crisis and the waves of refugees fleeing from the armed conflicts in Syria and sub-Saharan Africa, it isundeniable that European policies are by far less intolerant and have better standards of compliance with human rights.
