Recently, 3,000 Mexican-born people tried to illegally travel across the border to get in to the USA. Illegal immigration to the US from Mexico is much lower than in the 2000s, but increasing  numbers of families are fleeing the “northern triangle” of Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador to escape poverty, violence and climate change.

Migration has once again become one of the most important issues in Europe.

Italy's decision in June not to accept the rescue vessel Aquarius with more than 600 migrants on board attracted widespread criticism, and the issue of border controls for migrants threatened to break up the German coalition government.

So, how many people are arriving now, where are they from and what is happening to those who have arrived in the EU in previous years?

Number of arrivals has been greatly reduced

The highest number of arrivals - 1,015,078 - was recorded in 2015. More than 800,000 of them were trafficked by sea from Turkey to Greece, and the majority of them continued to travel through Europe to reach Germany and Sweden.

Since 2015, the number of refugees and migrants arriving in Greece has fallen dramatically, after the EU and Turkey signed an agreement to send back to Turkey migrants who do not apply for asylum or whose claim was rejected.

While the number of arrivals has dropped in Greece, the number of people arriving in Italy showed little change until 2018 when it also dropped considerably. In 2016 and 2017, 180,000 and 119,000 arrived in Italy respectively, smuggled by traffickers from North Africa and rescued at sea. In 2017, Italy received 67% of the EU's migrant arrivals.

However, since January this year, the number of arrivals in Italy has greatly reduced, with 20,120 arriving by mid-September 2018.

In the same period, Spain received the highest number of migrants and refugees - almost 35,000 - the majority of them by sea and more than 5,300 by land to Ceuta and Melilla, two Spanish enclaves in North Africa.

The UN refugee agency (UNHCR) says that routes used by human traffickers are constantly changing and are dependent on a number of factors, but the drop in numbers reaching Italy is attributed mainly to its close co-operation with the Libyan coastguard.

A total of 20,760 have arrived in Greece so far this year, bringing the total number of arrivals in the EU in 2018 to just over 76,000

Syria is still the most common country of origin of those arriving in Greece. Arrivals from Iraq and Afghanistan are also among the top countries of origin.

In Italy and Spain, arrivals from mostly African countries top the list. In Italy, the most common country of origin is Tunisia, followed by Eritrea, Sudan, Nigeria, and Pakistan. Spain received most of its migrants from Guinea, followed by Morocco and Mali, as well as the Ivory Coast, Syria and a number of other Sub-Saharan African countries.

Crossing the Mediterranean

The highest estimated number of dead and missing migrants in the Mediterranean - 5,096 - was recorded in 2016, despite a significant drop in migrant crossings compared with the previous year. Since then the number of deaths has fallen.

The Mediterranean crossing is becoming deadlier every year, if the number of estimated deaths is viewed as a proportion of the number of people who actually manage to reach the EU.

In 2015, there was one death in every 269 arrivals recorded. In 2016, this went up to one death in 72 arrivals and in 2017 to one in 57 arrivals.

But based on figures to mid-September 2018, the deadliest year so far has been this year, with one death for every 49 people who arrived in the EU.

That's because in 2014 and 2015 the majority of refugees and migrants arriving in the EU entered Greece from Turkey, using a much shorter sea route, while since 2016, that has been replaced by a much longer and more dangerous route - to Italy from Libya.

Syrians top asylum seekers list

The top countries by origin of asylum seekers in the EU since 2014 are Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Nigeria and Pakistan, all countries with recent or ongoing conflicts.

Between 2014 and 2017, a total of more than 919,000 Syrians applied for asylum in the EU.

Asylum seekers from Eritrea, Bangladesh, Somalia, Iran and a number of Sub-Saharan countries are among the top 10 countries of origin of those who have been applying for asylum in the EU since 2014.

Germany took the highest number of asylum seekers

Sharing the burden of asylum applications equally between the EU countries is once again the top issue on the EU agenda. The June EU summit, where the leaders agreed that member states should distribute asylum seekers among themselves, has not solved the issue because the redistribution will be only on a voluntary basis.

The number of first-time asylum applications reached a record level in 2016 and has fallen since.

Germany tops list for granting asylum

Each asylum application is assessed on an individual basis. The process can take many years, and those who apply for asylum are given basic housing, food, education and healthcare.

At the end of the process, asylum is granted to those who can prove they fled war and persecution, while those who do not meet the criteria are refused asylum.

The top country for successful asylum applications is Germany, followed by France, Italy, Austria and Sweden.

Failed asylum seekers

The governments of the EU countries have warned that those who do not have a legitimate asylum claim will be returned to their country of origin.

The European Commission estimated that there were more than two million people staying in the EU illegally in 2015. Hundreds of thousands of those who do not qualify for asylum have been returned since then, but there are still hundreds of thousands of undocumented migrants living in the EU.

The European Commission says it does not want its migration policy to be judged on how many returns there have been and that its aim is that everyone who qualifies for asylum gets it, with people who are not eligible not coming in the first place.
Correction 30 July: The chart on successful asylum applications has been amended to include the total number of first-instance decisions.

One of the main causes of migration is for many people to find jobs and get a stable salary. Another reason linking to the previous one is to escape poverty.

In 2017, there was around 1 million Rohingya Muslims living in Myanmar.

They were the ethnic minority in the country.

The Rohiynga made up the largest percentage of Muslims in Myanmar.

Since the 70’s, Rohyinga have migrated across the region in significant numbers.

The latest exodus was in August, 2017 after attacks were carried out by Rohiynga Militants.

The UN says that the Rohiynga situation is, “One of the world’s largest growing refugee crisis’”.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
In August 2017, a deadly crackdown by Myanmar's army on Rohingya Muslims sent hundreds of thousands fleeing across the border into Bangladesh.

They risked everything to escape by sea or on foot a military offensive which the United Nations later described as a "textbook example of ethnic cleansing".

In January 2020, the UN's top court ordered the Buddhist-majority country to take measures to protect members of its Rohingya community from genocide.

But the army in Myanmar (formerly Burma) has said it was fighting Rohingya militants and denies targeting civilians. The country's leader Aung San Suu Kyi, once a human rights icon, has repeatedly denied allegations of genocide.

Who are the Rohingya?

Described by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres as "one of, if not the, most discriminated people in the world", the Rohingya are one of Myanmar's many ethnic minorities.

The Rohingya, who numbered around one million in Myanmar at the start of 2017, are one of the many ethnic minorities in the country. Rohingya Muslims represent the largest percentage of Muslims in Myanmar, with the majority living in Rakhine state.

They have their own language and culture and say they are descendants of Arab traders and other groups who have been in the region for generations.

But the government of Myanmar, a predominantly Buddhist country, denies the Rohingya citizenship and even excluded them from the 2014 census, refusing to recognise them as a people.

It sees them as illegal immigrants from Bangladesh.

Since the 1970s, Rohingya have migrated across the region in significant numbers. Estimates of their numbers are often much higher than official figures.

In the last few years, before the latest crisis, thousands of Rohingya made perilous journeys out of Myanmar to escape communal violence or alleged abuses by the security forces.

The exodus began on 25 August 2017 after Rohingya Arsa militants launched deadly attacks on more than 30 police posts.

Rohingyas arriving in Bangladesh said they fled after troops, backed by local Buddhist mobs, responded by burning their villages and attacking and killing civilians.

At least 6,700 Rohingya, including at least 730 children under the age of five, were killed in the month after the violence broke out, according to medical charity Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).

Amnesty International says the Myanmar military also raped and abused Rohingya women and girls.

The government, which puts the number of dead at 400, claims that "clearance operations" against the militants ended on 5 September, but BBC correspondents have seen evidence that they continued after that date.

At least 288 villages were partially or totally destroyed by fire in northern Rakhine state after August 2017, according to analysis of satellite imagery by Human Rights Watch.

The imagery shows many areas where Rohingya villages were reduced to smouldering rubble, while nearby ethnic Rakhine villages were left intact.

Human Rights Watch say most damage occurred in Maungdaw Township, between 25 August and 25 September 2017 - with many villages destroyed after 5 September, when Myanmar's de facto leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, said security force operations had ended.

A report published by UN investigators in August 2018 accused Myanmar's military of carrying out mass killings and rapes with "genocidal intent".

The ICJ case, lodged by the small Muslim-majority nation of The Gambia, in West Africa, on behalf of dozens of other Muslim countries, called for emergency measures to be taken against the Myanmar military, known as Tatmadaw, until a fuller investigation could be launched.

Aung San Suu Kyi rejected allegations of genocide when she appeared at the court in December 2019.

But in January 2020, the court's initial ruling ordered Myanmar to take emergency measures to protect the Rohingya from being persecuted and killed.

While the ICJ only rules on disputes between states, the International Criminal Court (ICC) has the authority to try individuals accused of war crimes or crimes against humanity. The body approved a full investigation into the case of the Rohingya in Myanmar in November.

Although Myanmar itself is not a member of the court, the ICC ruled it had jurisdiction in the case because Bangladesh, where victims fled to, is a member.

Myanmar has long denied carrying out genocide and says it is carrying out its own investigations into the events of 2017. The country's Independent Commission of Enquiry (ICOE) admitted that members of the security forces may have carried out "war crimes, serious human rights violations, and violations of domestic law", but claimed there was no evidence of genocide.

Its full report has not yet been released, but questions have been raised.

With more than half a million Rohingya believed to still be living in Myanmar's northern Rakhine province, UN investigators have warned there is a "serious risk that genocidal actions may occur or recur".

The situation that led to "killings, rapes and gang rapes, torture, forced displacement and other grave rights violations" in 2017 remained unchanged, the investigators said in September, blaming a lack of accountability and Myanmar's failure to fully investigate allegations or criminalise genocide.

Rakhine province itself is the site of an ongoing conflict between the army and rebels from the Buddhist-majority Rakhine ethnic group.

What about the refugees?

The massive numbers of refugees who fled to Bangladesh in 2017 joined hundreds of thousands of Rohingya who had fled Myanmar in previous years.

Kutupalong, the largest refugee settlement in the world according to UNHCR, is home to more than 600,000 refugees alone.

While an agreement for the return of refugees was reached in early 2018, none returned. They said they would not consider going back to Myanmar unless they were given guarantees they would be given citizenship.

And as a BBC investigation showed, even those considering returning in the future may not be able to, with villages destroyed to make way for government facilities.

There are a lot of consequences which are mostly negative although there is a positive side. Some of the impacts of migration from MENA to Western Europe are the fact that people start getting frustrated because alothough many Non-Governmental Organizations go to rescue traveling immigrants, most of them are economic refugees coming from mostly Africa and very few are actual war refugees from Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and Yemen (the percentage of war refugees coming to Europe is actually under 5%). This means that around 95% of the African Immigrants are escaping poor financial conditions or corrupt governments.

Curently, European states are not even fully able to support their own citizens, never mind giving €35 to every immigrant who comes in. Hotels are being emptied, European Citizens being physically being moved out of their homes to make space and although it is not their fault, the immigrants aren’t really used to western societies and for example, wash themselves in 2000 year old fountains in Rome and end up breaking them. People may argue that these migrants may be working and getting jobs and a small amount might be, but the truth is that because there arent even enough jobs for European citizens, there is simply not enough space for the immigrants, both physically and economically. This is causing many people to become radicalised and racist because of all these negative aspects adding onto the already uncertain times for the EU.

It would be much easier financially to go to the African countries where there isn’t war and make the economic situation better for everyone there by creature more jobs like Spain is already starting to do.There should be a long term effort to bring fair democracy to all African countries and many EU politicians are starting to think of this positive approach, but this is hard because countries like the US make tons of money through selling weapons to these corrupt governments in the Middle East and Africa and its not exactly easy to say no to America.

One of the host nations, Bangladesh hosts around 900,000 migrants at their Kutupalong Refugee Camp.

Its one of the most populous refugee camps in the world.

Drinkable water supplies are often low and the Government of Bangladesh struggles to contain the water and airborne diseases that are carried by the Rohiynga.

This is because in thier home countries they often had little to no vaccinations.

Day to day produce prices have gone up due to the influx of migrants, making life more expensive for the Bengali population that live in the area.

Human and Drug trafficking has also become a problem within the camps as these things often go unchecked. Crime rates have increased which put the locals at risk of being exposed to these problems.

Dubai: The value of remittances, or money sent home by Filipinos in the UAE to friends and family back home, grew to significant levels in 2017, thanks in part to favourable exchange rates.

Official records suggest that Filipino expats in the UAE transferred more than $2.54 billion (Dh9.3 billion) in cash remittances through banks in 2017, up by 17.8 per cent from $2.1 billion a year earlier.

The value is the highest and represents more than a third (33 per cent) of the $7.5 billion cash transferred by overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) based in the Gulf to the Philippines, making the UAE the largest source of remittances in the region, according to the data released by Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP).

Remittances are a major economic contributor in many countries around the world, and they're mainly used by beneficiaries for household sustenance, as well as healthcare and education expenses.

However, while remittances from the UAE have remained resilient, other sources of funds within the Gulf are witnessing a decline. According to the BSP data, the UAE is one of the few GCC states where remittances are still growing, while money flows from other popular expatriate destinations such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Oman are posting declines.

Cash transfers from Saudi Arabia dropped by 4.6 per cent to $2.5 billion, while those from Kuwait dipped by 5.9 per cent to $806 million.

Remittances from Oman posted the biggest decline of 16.3 per cent, bringing the total transfers down to $345 million. OFWs in Qatar sent home a total of $1.1 billion, rising by 4.9 per cent, while those in Bahrain transferred $229 million, posting the biggest jump of 30.8 per cent from a year earlier.

The figures are based on bank reports and refer only to funds coursed through banks.

Overall, Filipinos from around the world remitted a total of $31.3 billion from January to December 2017, posting a 5.3 per cent increase from the $29.7 billion recorded in the previous year and exceeding the central bank's four per cent forecast for the year.

The figure also represents 10 per cent of the Philippines' gross domestic product (GDP) and 8.3 per cent of gross national income (GNI).

"The sustained growth of remittances continued to provide support to the country's economy as a major driver of domestic demand," the central bank said in a statement.

Remittances from the Middle East went up by 3.4 per cent, driven by growth in transfers from the UAE, Qatar and Bahrain.

"By country source, the bulk of cash remittances for the year came from the US, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Japan, United Kingdom, Qatar, Kuwait, Germany and Hong Kong. The combined remittances from these countries accounted for 80.1 per cent of total cash remittances," the BSP said.
