On Thursday, leaders of Europe will hold meetings in Brussels and will discuss immigration issues. How the EU goes

From a more global perspective, the actual "immigration crisis" occurred in the Mediterranean and North African countries, which housed millions of refugees, not Western European countries. Turkey, Jordan, Lebanon, and Libya are affected in different degrees. The mainstream media is proud of "illegal entry" in qualifying. The international community did not foresee Libya's intervention from 2011 onwards as an immigration issue, but mainly on Libya, triggered Gaddafi as a trigger for recall. Libya's loss of power, the decline of the economy, and loose border guard are combinations of immigrants to tripartite transactions involving tribes, militias, international NGOs, and coastguards.

Regardless of how immigrants are treated, speaking alone about "crisis" can be misleading. Instead, international immigration must be regarded as an integral part of the relationship between societies. There is a crisis in relations between the North and the North, immigrants are a part of this crisis. The whole immigrant will not bring economic or social crisis to North Korea. According to the United Nations International Immigration Statistics in 2002, there are 175 million international immigrants. Among them, 175 million people, 32% (56 million people) live in Europe, 23.4% (41 million people) live in North America, 28.5% (50 million) live in Asia. On average, every 10 people living in developed countries are immigrants. One in 70 people living in developing countries is an immigrant. These figures are important, but they are far below the ideas of many people, and certainly we can not prove headlines in the media in "popular influx".

Clearly, it is widely believed that Europe is facing an immigration crisis. Our newspapers, television reports, computer screens are full of images emphasizing the impression that thousands of immigrants are drowning every day between the Mediterranean Sea, especially Sicily and Libya's unmistakable tragedy. I was repeatedly trying to ride a truck to England through a chaotic landing to the island of Kos, Greece, a scene from an immigrant camp outside the curry, and a tunnel in Europe.
