SPEAKING OF
IMMIGRANT POLICY
|
"The desire to win arguments and the tendency
to seek out information that reaffirms one's core identity are evolutionary traits that are hardwired into the human brain.
Yet policymaking in democratic societies relies on the engagement of an electorate able to access and think critically about
new information, and to adjust their views accordingly. Data and facts still have the power to promote a more informed electorate
and a more effective policy process, but simply supplying high-quality information is no longer sufficient. Communicators
need to work to better understand the political and emotional context in which information lands, and adapt their use of evidence
to support a more nuanced debate of issues such as immigration to which there are rarely clean-cut, right-or-wrong answers." Natalia Banulescu-Bogdan,
When Facts Don't Matter: How to Communicate More Effectively about Immigration's Costs and Benefits (Migration
Policy Institute, November 2018), p. 19.
