Migration as a process of conquest

Could it be that our migrations are actually attempts at ownership, at "colonisation", economic, political, social, cultural or religious, virtual or real? … 

Could it be that some of us, migrants, went into exile with the intention of benefitting from the hospitality of the host territory?

Who still has the audacity to ask the question, for oneself, and not, as is too often the case, for others only, these "migrants" that we dare welcome at the cost of a superhuman (financial) effort, at the risk of being "conquered" by who knows what will of a "foreign" power?

Migration as a process of conquest? But who is talking about whom? Do we seriously think that some of us, more than others, covet quite rightfully the "secret" to (potential or initiated) success (see white matter, grey matter) of some nations among all others?

But, ultimately, who am I to judge, or appreciate, what is good or bad, for a migration that is free or not so free?

Certainly, migration, my migration, our migrations, are above all a process of conquest for... life. Living and accepting our migrations, that is the challenge, through the ages, more than yesterday and less than tomorrow!
