    To be frank, no, I don’t claim to understand migration factors better than experts.

    But if that theory is no longer seen as credible, I wonder how academia explains migration factors.

    For me it isn’t good enough to just say that the theories are wrong, I need to know what factors they believe causes migration instead.

        Alright, so push/pull factors does infact exist, but we don’t know what they are.

            Yes?

            It talks about how the classic push/pull factors are way less important than culture and language.

            To me, denying the push/pull concept is dumb, I’ll absolutely conceede that the main push/pull factors may not be as prominant as previously suggested, but the play a part.

            The article gives examples of how people want to go to a place with very similar culture and language, and as an example of that the bring up that the vast majority of syrian refugees are housed in Turkey, not other European countries, this is only natural, Turkey is neighbouring Syria, sp naturally most refugees go there, Poland and Ukraina is a similar situation, brodering nations.

              This feel to me like a “feels over reals” situation.

                That may be right, I see it more like logic reasoning, but I understand that said logic and reasoning is based on feelings and imagined emotions.

                  It’s actually not, since you treat it more like a non-falsifiable “common sense” situation, which actually excludes logical reasoning.
