The European Union has seen a dramatic increase in illegal migration at its external borders in recent months, with a 59% increase over 2020 so far.

Frontex, the European Union’s border and coast guard agency, reported that there were 17,300 illegal border crossings in July, 33% higher than July 2020, and a slight increase over June, when there were 14,600 illegal crossings detected.

Overall, there have been 82,000 illegal crossings in the first seven months of 2021, more than 59% higher than the same period in 2020.

One of the largest increases was seen on the Central Mediterranean route. While the 7,600 crossings in July were in line with July 2020, overall there have been 30,000 crossings in 2021 -- a 96% increase over the same time last year. The majority of migrants came from Tunisia, Bangladesh and Egypt.

On the Western African route, there have been 7,350 crossings, a 130% increase over last year -- where most migrants came from sub-Saharan countries.

On the Western Balkans route, there were 3,600 detections in July, a 67% increase over July last year, and 90% over last year. The E.U. agency noted that the majority of those migrants came from Syria and Afghanistan.

“82,000 illegal crossings in the first seven months of 2021”

If only we had that low number! The Dems would be dismayed at the low influx of new voters.

That is 140,000 annualized. We are going to be at least 10X that number under Xiden.

IMHO this the wrong time to migrating towards Europe and America. For a long time they benefitted from Western Civilization mixed with Judea-Christianity, but in the last 10 years or so are now like Wilely Coyote after he goes off a cliff - there was some momentum to help for a season- then just a precipitous fall.

When they collapse -soon- seems like it would be more favorable in warmer climates.

And many of these invaders are aided and transported by NGOs who find any way possible to get them into Europe.

They forced Galileo to recant.

They forced Jean Respail to recant.

They could not force Donald Trump to recant. He never deviated from truth. That's why they want to destroy him.

Here, and probably also in Europe, Catholic Charities is one of the major organizations aiding and abetting the invaders.

camp of the Saints. I read that a long time ago and have been watching it come true for all these years. I think we are there here in America. After the world ends, if anyone is left, they will go back to tribal territories and start over. That’s because the tribes became cultures. That worked until some cultures decided to cross over the boundaries. It’s been downhill ever since. It takes a long time to establish cultural boundaries and to keep them. Bottom line: we are facing the task of combining the U.S., Mexico and the rest of the misplaced world.
