Morocco intercepted a large number of stowaways in the Mediterranean. Why are these people smuggling?

The English Channel lies between England and France. Dover, England and Calais, France face each other across the sea. The strait is 560 kilometers long and connects the Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea. The widest point180km, and the narrowest point is only 34km. Many people have successfully swam across the Strait, and the two sides are almost within reach. As a transportation hub between the European continent and Britain, the sea traffic is very busy. The Channel Cross-Harbour Tunnel was opened at 1994, connecting Britain and France. Therefore, the English Channel has an important strategic position between Britain and France and even the whole European region.

Second, why is it common to sneak into Britain?

Britain once ruled the world for a long time. Although it can't catch up with the developed United States in today's society, its per capita GDP has reached more than 40 thousand dollars, which shows its strong economy. Therefore, people's living standards are high, social welfare is good, and the security system is perfect. They can enjoy various state subsidies until they die. At the same time, there are also famous universities such as Oxford University and Cambridge University, and the overall education mechanism is relatively perfect and developed. So naturally, many people from poor and backward countries will try their best to sneak into Britain.

After all, smuggling is not a legal act, and no matter what kind of smuggling, there are great risks, and even life will be lost. Besides, life abroad is not as comfortable as you think. It is the right way to improve yourself, help build the country and change your original living environment. It may bring security risks to the infiltrated country. Some criminals, even terrorists, use smuggling to enter the attacking country, which poses a great threat to the newly infiltrated country and is difficult to investigate and deal with, bringing many uncontrollable dangers to national security.

It will also disrupt the management and security of the border. Setting the border is to delimit the territory first, and then to ensure that the country's economic order and social system will not be changed by external factors. The entry of stowaways may trigger these changes and bring unimaginable problems to the countries where stowaways enter. It will also lead to a decrease in visa income. In some countries, if a visa is approved, the applicant must pay a certain fee, even if the visa is rejected. Smuggling will erase this part of the cost, which many countries do not want to see. Of course, this cost is still far from safe. The danger of stowaways may also be to carry some animals and plants that endanger the local area and make the local species change greatly. For example, we saw that some people brought the Brazilian tortoise into China, initially as a pet, and later released it, which directly changed the diversity of local biological species.

These are not expected by many people at first, but there are reasons and reasons why many countries take certain measures to crack down on illegal immigrants. Many people are smuggled out, some to live in the destination country, and some to work in the destination country. Although few people do horrible things, for the target country, these things are beyond judgment, and direct rejection is the best way.
