Zizek’s new book on the refugees is far from perfect but it’s better than anything else I’ve seen on the subject. Amidst the requisite platitudes that are obsessively rolled out by anybody who approaches the issue, there are things that nobody explores but that are crucial. Example:
What we do know is that there is a complex economy of refugee transportation (an industry worth billions of dollars); so who is financing it, streamlining it? Where are the European intelligence services to explore this dark netherworld? The fact that refugees are in a desperate situation in no way excludes the possibility that their flow is part of a well-planned project.
Where the book fails is Zizek’s belief that migratory flows will stop once the situation in the refugees’ home countries improves. What the writer forgers is that people don’t always move exclusively away from something. Sometimes, what they are moving towards is equally or more important to them.

Most migration transportation networks are self financing from the huge profit they make from robbing the refugees themselves. This is certainly true of the coyotes bringing in people from Mexico to the US or the snake heads bringing people from China into the US.
