| Sumario: | Understanding the migration issue goes well beyond seeing immigration as a “society problem”, as a threat to the well-being of a people or to their identity and cultural characteristics. Political speeches often represent immigrants in a reductionist way. When the migration process becomes a topic of political discourse, it begins to represent, and at the same time incite, antithetical views and attitudes, which we will call here empathetic and non-empathetic. The objective of this article is to analyze the ways in which political discourses talk about immigration and reflect on the importance of empathy for a better understanding of the place of immigrants and immigration. |
