Abstract This contribution presents an updated picture of data and reflections regarding migratory movements. At the same time it examines several widespread commonplaces. First of all this essay outlines the concept of migrant. Institutional definitions do not discern between origin and social status; as a matter of fact the term migrant defines poor foreigners who are a threat for the housing Countries. Hence the request for boundary fences and entrance controls. But the idea that poverty causes migrations does not correspond to the truth. Migrants do not come from the poorest countries in the world and they are not poorest subjects in their countries. Furthermore they are always more divided into diversified categories and present different motivations. Only a little part comes from the sea and they are to be considered refugees. On conclusion this phenomenon must be better known as that it can be dealt with more effectively, in the full respect of everybody's rights.
