Migration to Europe is once again surging. EU authorities reported 133,000 irregular border crossings last year – the highest number since 2016. Most of those fleeing seek to come by sea.
Two recent shipwrecks in the Mediterranean attest to the peril they face. The deaths have provoked harsh criticism of Europe’s broken policy – yet some leaders want to crackdown harder.
The UK, for example, will pay France more than half a billion Euros to stop illegal crossing of the English Channel. Yet at the same time, countries facing urgent labor shortages – like Germany – want to create more legal pathways for skilled migrants.
