Since 2018, France has taken measures against migrants in the region with financial support from London. The British border guards and the European border protection agency Frontex also want to cooperate more closely in this field.

In this way, the Mediterranean Sea, under the shadow of the anti-immigration policies of European countries, is more than ever for immigrants and asylum seekers. It has become deadly. According to the United Nations, since the beginning of 2023, thousands of migrants and refugees have died or gone missing while trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea to reach Europe. The United Nations International Migration Agency estimates that since 2014, more than 28,000 people have died trying to reach Europe through the Mediterranean Sea. The actual death and disappearance of asylum seekers is much more than the recorded cases; Because many cases of deaths and disappearances of asylum seekers and migrants have not been recorded on the European routes. However, migration remains an unresolved crisis in the European Union, and the European Union is working to solve this crisis and reduce the victims of asylum seekers. Instead of creating legal ways for immigrants to enter, it continues to increase the pressure on this oppressed group and puts stricter policies towards them. At the end of last year, Europe and the Parliament agreed on fundamental reforms in the asylum system and the tightening of strictures against refugees.

Based on this agreement, there should be uniform border procedures at the external borders of the European Union in the future. In particular, there are plans to get much tougher on people from countries that are considered relatively safe. Accordingly, until a decision is made on the asylum application, people should be able to be accommodated in detention camps under prison-like conditions. are reorganized using a “solidarity mechanism”. Countries that do not want to accept refugees must offer other support, for example in the form of cash payments. Based on this, rejected asylum seekers should be easily deported to safe third countries in the future.

On the other hand, European countries continue to intensify their strict policies towards asylum seekers separately.
