British immigrants

In fact, smuggling to developed countries during the epidemic is not the climax of smuggling, so it is impossible to exceed the historical record, and the scale of such smuggling cannot be fully understood by the government, so it is difficult to calculate whether it will break the record. In the past, Europe and the Middle East were relatively close, and it was easy for old capitalist countries to go to the Middle East to snatch colonial materials. At present, the international situation is not good, and it is this proximity that makes European countries the most desirable places for refugees to flee.

We should know that the origin of refugees in the Middle East is caused by the United States and western countries constantly helping Israel in the Middle East and seizing the sphere of influence with the Soviet Union. Syria, Iraq and other countries used to get rich by selling oil, but either because of Israel's problems or because the aborigines didn't like outsiders, the United States and the Soviet Union launched many wars in the Middle East, which led to the deepening of ethnic conflicts, the prevalence of terrorist organizations in the Middle East, and ordinary people had to flee to other places to survive.

As a developed country, the welfare system in Europe is still relatively perfect, and there are precedents of black immigrants in France before (although the French society is getting more and more chaotic now), so everyone knows that Europe is good and wants to go to Europe. Before the Middle East War, a large number of refugees fled to Europe, so that smuggling became an industry, and coastal governments had to set up special institutions to take care of these stowaways.

Although everyone had a hard time during the epidemic, it is not so urgent that everyone can resume production and life in Turkey or places where order has been restored. According to the past situation, the record of smuggling into the English Channel should be the peak of the US military's fight against terrorist organizations. At that time, people could not produce safely in their own country and lived in fear all day. Of course, some of them, as refugees, have a hard time in Turkey, hoping to try their luck in Europe, but when they arrive in Europe, they may have a worse life without full citizenship.
