Part 2/8:
European leaders have made it clear that the continent is becoming less welcoming to migrants. The phrase "it's impossible, we can't take you in; please don't even try" encapsulates this new reality. Frontex, the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, is now tasked with ensuring that those who attempt to cross the borders are returned to their departure points. This stringent approach is in stark contrast to the open-door policies of a decade ago, which saw over a million migrants enter Europe during the height of the migration crisis.
