You mean, it would be politically prudent to just ignore the issue that the right-wing rags have been going on and on and on about for the last few years?
Factually incorrect, as @RedWhippet has already pointe dout.
You mean the rise based on sensationalised stories that turn out to have little bearing in truth and are often manufactured precisely for their outrage values? You ignore the fact that the “problems” regarding immigration are constantly blown out of proportion or even manufactured (see the asylum system backlog) to create precisely that kind of perception to keep or get right-wing parties in power.
And finally, given the demographics of many European countries, increased immigration volumes are actually beneficial for them, especially if the support systems are there for the very people who want to get their lives going.
