| Abstract: | Malta boasts that it has been a welcoming post for migrants since ancient times. Malta is proud of its role in welcoming St Paul in 60 AD and also of its Christian roots. However, in practice, the Christian roots and the fact that it welcomes migrants may be just a gimmick. The article discusses Malta’s egoistic approach towards migration and its structured legal and enforcement system. It seeks to attract third-country nationals by ‘selling’ EU passports yet treats migrants horrendously. The article aims to explain the hypocrisy of Malta’s legal and political position on migration and show how its European values are compromised. |
