The Human Tragedy of Illegal Migrants
In the last years too many people have put at risk their lives in attempts to cross a border. They are driven by the desire to enter into a country where they will be safe from persecution, poverty, conflicts, natural disasters or other calamities and where they will have the chance to spend a decent life. They are ready to face social discrimination and vulnerability, after arriving somewhere and living there irregularly. The hope to migrate is the reason why the waters of some seas, such as the Mediterranean, have become the graveyard of thousands of human beings, including children, who are moving from a number of African or Asian countries to reach the European Union.
