Morocco intercepted a large number of stowaways in the Mediterranean. Why are these people smuggling?

The English Channel lies between England and France. Dover in England and Calais in France face each other across the sea. The strait is 560 kilometers long and connects the Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea. The widest point is180km, and the narrowest point is only 34km. Many people have successfully swam across the Strait, and the two sides are almost within reach. As a transportation hub between the European continent and Britain, maritime transportation is very busy. The Channel Cross-Harbour Tunnel was opened in 1994, connecting Britain and France. Therefore, the English Channel has an important strategic position between Britain and France and even the whole European region.

Second, why is it common to sneak into Britain?

Britain once dominated the world for a long time. Although it can't catch up with the developed United States in today's society, its per capita GDP has reached more than 40 thousand dollars, which shows that its economy is strong. Therefore, people's living standards are high, social welfare is good, and the security system is perfect. They can enjoy various state subsidies until their death. At the same time, there are also famous universities such as Oxford University and Cambridge University, and the overall education mechanism is relatively perfect and developed. So naturally, many people from poor and backward countries will try their best to sneak into Britain.

After all, smuggling is not a legal act. No matter what kind of smuggling, there are great risks and even loss of life. Besides, life in a foreign country is not as comfortable as you think. It is the right way to improve yourself, help build the country and change the original living environment. It may bring security risks to the infiltrated countries. Some criminals, even terrorists, use smuggling to attack countries, which is a great threat to newly infiltrated countries, and it is difficult to investigate, which brings many uncontrollable dangers to national security.

This will also disrupt the management and security of the border. The first thing to set up a border is to delimit the territory, and the second thing is to ensure that the economic order and social system of the country will not be changed by external factors. The entry of stowaways may lead to these changes and bring unimaginable problems to countries that have entered the country illegally. It will also lead to a decrease in visa income. In some countries, even if the visa is refused, the applicant must pay a certain fee. Smuggling will erase this part of the cost, which many countries do not want to see. Of course, this cost is still far from safe. The danger of stowaways may also be to carry some animals and plants that endanger the local area and make great changes to the local species. For example, we saw some people bring Brazilian tortoises into China, initially as pets, but later released, which directly changed the biodiversity of local biological species.

These are things that many people did not expect at first, but there are reasons and reasons for many countries to take certain measures to crack down on illegal immigrants. Many people go out by smuggling, some live in the destination country, and some work in the destination country. Although few people do horrible things, for the target country, these are beyond judgment, and direct rejection is the best way.
