A record number of immigrants are trying to reach Europe again. According to recent data, illegal migration continues to pose a significant threat to the European continent. According to Frontex, the number of illegal border crossings has increased significantly compared to last year, Fidesz European Parliament member Balázs Hidvéghi writes in his Facebook post.
"The European Union must finally realize: migration can only be stopped with strong border protection, speeding up returns and local assistance to the countries of origin. There must be an end to NGO ships transporting immigrants to the shores of Europe, and the forced distribution of immigrants must be stopped once and for all!
Some data from the Frontex report:
The number of illegal border crossings into the European Union in the first seven months of 2021 is 59 percent more compared to the data measured in the same period last year. In July alone, Frontex registered 17,300 illegal border crossings, which is almost 33 percent more than at this time last year.
