The purpose of illegal immigration

Smuggled to Europe to seek refuge and a better life because of regional conflicts, ethnic conflicts and poverty.

The reasons for this phenomenon can be described from the following aspects:

1. Turkey's special geographical location Turkey straddles Eurasia and is a crossroads connecting Europe and Asia. It is bordered by the Black Sea in the north, the Mediterranean Sea in the south, Syria and Iraq in the southeast, the Aegean Sea in the west, Greece and Bulgaria in the east, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and Iran in the east, with convenient waterway transportation.

Some Middle Eastern and Asian countries adjacent to Turkey, such as Myanmar, Palestine, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Somalia, etc., hope that people in these countries can seek refuge and get a better life because of underdeveloped regional economy or years of war. Like Syria, the Syrian civil war, which lasted from the beginning of 20 1 1 to the present, has dealt a heavy blow to the domestic economy, threatened people's survival and life, and caused a large number of people to be displaced.

Northeast Turkey is a European country with a high level of economic and social development, and these areas can provide them with adequate food, as well as stable work and residence.

2065438+September 6, 2009 According to Turkish media reports, the Turkish Coast Guard captured 236 foreign illegal immigrants who attempted to sneak into an island in Greece that day. According to the data of the Turkish Coast Guard, since 20 19, more than 28,000 people have tried to sneak into the European continent through the Aegean Sea in Turkey, which is an important channel for illegal immigrants to sneak into the European continent through Turkey, significantly higher than the number of170,000 in the same period last year.

2. Loose policies and agreements in Europe and other countries. Loose political asylum policies in European countries. Although European countries generally have strict immigration restrictions, European governments are open to those who apply for political asylum, because western countries demand respect for human rights and safeguard the dignity and life of others.

Schengen agreement in western European countries. Once foreigners are allowed in? Schengen district? Within, you can freely pass through the territory of the signatory countries of the agreement. According to the report of Europol, illegal immigrant smugglers have become more and more organized, and they have established a complex professional network to conduct transnational operations from the country of origin to the country of destination. The signing of the Schengen Agreement broke the original national boundaries and facilitated smuggling activities.

Lack of labor at the bottom. European countries generally implement high welfare and high subsidy policies, but they face high unemployment rate. Although there are a lot of unemployed people, many low-level jobs can't recruit people. In order to solve this problem, some European countries directly provide a way to legalize illegal immigration status.

Under the pressure of the international community, UNHCR called on the EU to adopt an overall protection policy to deal with the illegal immigration crisis. Ten o'clock action plan? One of them is to provide a certain number of resettlement places for illegal immigrants who need protection.

The UNHCR believes that there has been a very serious displacement crisis in neighboring countries in Europe, and refugees have died in the tragedy of war and persecution. He called on European countries to assume more social responsibilities and provide shelter and resettlement places for immigrants.
