Vrij verkeer van goederen, handel & kapitaal: een triade die de pijler vormt van ons liberaal systeem. Welke plaats krijgt het vrij verkeer van mensen in dit verhaal? Het recht van een Westerling om de wereld rond te reizen staat in schril contrast met de veelheid aan obstakels die een niet-EU burger tegenkomt op zijn weg om een visum voor Europa te bemachtigen. Wat is er met andere woorden zo liberaal aan ons migratiebeleid? Wij zouden het debat fundamenteel willen voeren en het beginsel van“(open) grenzen” ter discussie willen stellen.
