According to eumigrations European conservative concerns that migrant-friendly policies could lead to an increase in illegal immigration, crime and uncertainty.

A look at the story

European migration policy has changed significantly over the years. A distinctive point is the 1985 Schengen Treaty, which led to the creation of a border control-free Europe. Nevertheless, the control of the external borders remains a central topic and has led to criticism of the creation of a "fortress Europe". These developments are in a tension between the national sovereignty of the European countries.

This system has proven to be inadequate, especially during the 2015 refugee crisis, which called for a new upswing in the discussion.
