The number of people smuggling across the English Channel has increased, will it hit a new high?

In fact, smuggling to developed countries during the epidemic was not a peak period for smuggling, so it is impossible to exceed the historical record. Moreover, the scale of this kind of smuggling cannot be fully understood by the officials, and it is difficult to calculate whether it has broken the record. In the past, Europe and the Middle East were close to each other, and it was easy for established capitalist countries to go to the Middle East to snatch colonial supplies; now that the international situation is not good, it is this proximity that makes European countries the place where refugees most want to flee.

You must know that the origin of the refugees in the Middle East is caused by the United States and Western countries continuously helping Israel in the Middle East and seizing the sphere of influence with the Soviet Union. Countries such as Syria and Iraq used to live very richly by selling oil. However, either because of the problem with Israel or because the indigenous people do not like outsiders, the United States and the Soviet Union launched many wars in the Middle East. These wars have led to deepening ethnic conflicts. Terrorist organizations are prevalent in the Middle East. Ordinary people can only Flee elsewhere to survive.

As a developed country, Europe has a relatively complete welfare system, and there is a precedent of black immigrants in France (although French society is becoming more and more chaotic now), so everyone knows that Europe is good and wants to go there. . During the previous war in the Middle East, a large number of refugees fled to Europe, so that smuggling became an industry, and the governments along the coast had to set up a special agency to monitor these smugglers.

Although everyone's life was difficult during the epidemic, it was not urgent. Everyone was able to restart production and life in Turkey or in places where order has been restored. According to past circumstances, the record of smuggling into the English Channel should have reached its peak during the US military's fight against terrorist organizations. At that time, people could not safely produce in their own country and lived in fear all day long. Of course, some of them are not living well in Turkey as refugees and hope to try their luck in Europe. However, when they arrive in Europe, they find that life without formal citizenship may be even more miserable.
