responsibilities to the rest of the world how or if at all it is going to enforce its borders and the massive demographic changes that it is facing these are some of the most dramatic to a thorough democratization of the country the uprising the so called arab spring which worked its way across north africa and the middle east over the next five years dictators like  kilometers away from europe's borders would soon reach its shores by two thousand and fifteen over a quarter of syria's population had found themselves this place with refugees making their way to nearby countr like lebanon turkey and jordan continuing instability soon made libya a crossing point for refugees looking to make their way illegally into the european union so far the mainstream conversation has been dominated by talk of refugees drowning in the mediterranean and questions of what is our humanitarian responsibility to people fleeing war and persecution but alongside this there's been a nd conversation one asking questions about the women who are raped and mass in cologne or of cultural compatibility and religious compatibility just how many people can europe handle there are so many opinions on this issue from all different political perspectives but we really wanted to take a look at this without a lens apology just how many people are coming into europe where are they coming from who are they and what has been in europe's response how many of these people are economic migrants and what actually happens to them once they arrive on the shores of turkey's stock more than sixty percent of all syrian refugee arrivals to their country more than three million five hundred thousand people and at the height of the crisis in tw fifteen the pathway between turkey and greece saw more crossing than any other route into europe the we'll need to draw a line back from europe all the way to turkey and begin his good ten is not going to come back is going to think that this is all set up we're going to lose and burn all of our contact area so actually came back i saw so many brought the lab dirt poor trying to escape their country these kids who are living on the streets just starving to death in sub saharan african they're not the ones getting on these boats they can't afford that we're not talking about the poorest of the poor the people who actually desperately need to come to europe they're never going to get to step foot there they're never again to come over they can't afford these prices that's what's so freaking sad about it doesn't seem like any of this on until you get guess until you get to the last leg of the journey where you've got these n g o s none of this is for humanitarian aid and i mean you've got tons of canadian tons american tons of europeans donating millions of dollars in aid then goes to go into the water and save these people because they think they're syrian refugees they think they're poor people escaping corrupt governments that are oppressing them and all it is is there's the last leg in a giant human trafficking operation making these people in morocco millions and millions and operation in morocco but when you add up the figures it becomes clear that these numbers add up to more than a one hundred thousand euros per boat and millions of euros every week one route that is particularly interesting are these two spanish enclaves nestled on the coast of morocco they test and malea every day thousands of legal workers make their way back and forth across what is becoming known as europe's most fortified borders it is increasingly becoming one of the largest crossing points in two thousand and eighteen with thousands making their way to the enclaves and then in so right now i'm standing in a small little spanish on clay on the tip of morocco called little eli and right across this border is morocco and in recent months this has become a new for illegal migration of people desperately trying to get over this fence into spain so they can make their way through europe and we're about to head to the other side of this fence to go and investigate just how they do it all they destroy them so rip out the page you're saying you want to go to london yes that's it if they were going to do well in the camp we met the leader of the group whose job it was to i'm doing this because i know the system here better than anyone and i want to help these people cross their rights their lives here are good and we are all created equal people border should not be in places like there are two ways you can become one is by boat and the other is on the other here we jump the fence once every month we all pick a date and we all get together and any weapons we ca and storm the fence this takes a long time to plan and not all of us make it in fact most don't make it i hear a lot of people say once they make it they regret the trip and europe doesn't turn out how they want it  so we need to talk about moria it's one of the single issues in this crisis just to receive almost more attention than anything it's this small little refugee camp about a fifteen minute drive in land on the and a half one thousand people but realistically holds around ten thousand and small towns surrounding the actual facility and the news reports that are coming out of this place  horrifying we have heard reports about starvation murder that the rape of women and children in these tents at night and even that this facility is being used to filter abroad in this video clip she seems to be telling the undercover crew who were filming her against her knowledge that she coaches refugees and migrants on how they should how they should speak to border police they've also deleted their online social media presence their twitter account is gone and their facebook account has gone as well these recordings highlight the worrying attitudes of n g o s towards the very idea of borders and the car on the way to another part of the island ariel confirms not just the existence of smugglers inside europe but revealed the level of support for their actions among volunteers and aid workers what i've just gone back to watch so some of the footage of the interview we did with panelists the head of your cia and i'm listening to the undercover recording we have now panel of all of these allegations to the police and publicly he said they were taking in no money laundering at all and i'm pretty sure i just heard is where you're saying to us on tape they  laundered half a one million dollars i'm i'm just also really alarmed here that his lawyer is telling us that laundering half a one million dollars is nothing compared to what other n g o s do i  given the huge numbers of people entering europe and the authorities apparent inability to handle the scope of this crisis it is no wonder that we are seeing an increase in migration related crime with a wave of to handle this crisis is at an all time low at the european parliament in brussels a small but growing number of them are working to highlight not just the cultural cost but also the economic cost of the crisis at europe's borders that large scale migration hasn't brought the huge economic benefits that that's the left of all of you actually in some cases and particularly now is provable if you're poor across europe you've actually suffered your wages have declined you it's well recognised that if you have large scale migration rather than drip feed migration that fits into the economic needs that we have you'll get segregation separation and also people starting to look at each other in a very negative way this is not the future for countries in europe in some of europe's often overlooked outlying countries militia groups have taken it upon themselves to bolster europe's professional border security often patrolling the deep that these militias are well organized and intimidating with mixed support from local and national authorities many of the men carry doing did they get the lives that they dreamed of that they were promised are they just glad to be say what about those who came for work did they ever find what they were looking for i want to know whether all of this chaos and confusion was ever worth it so we're just here in paris where tens of thousands of people are arriving problem across the mediterranean many people think they're coming to a paradise when they arrive in a big european city like paris but in the other camps found across europe a common sentiment is that it was not the paradise they were expecting and in many cases their life was better back home and we want to interview and talk to some of these migrants and see how they feel living here in paris now especially where they're staying underneath bridges where they're sleeping in tents on the streets where they don't have a job they aren't really integrated into society we want to try to understand what life is like unable to go home and refugees alike have found themselves between a rock and a hard place the truth is nobody wins in this situation but what about other countries what happens when a refugee is granted asylum or migrant is accepted by the state i'm an investigative journalist based in dublin and most of my work has been around investigation corruption within the institutions of the station arm and in the past i would have written quite a lot on the face of refugees and i'm talking about genuine refugees to the point that i actually won a national campaigning award for my work on the rights of asylum seekers so i have been very much  suppose side with with the plight of course what journalists wouldn't be of real refugees leaving war zones because we now have a serious housing crisis in our land and we've had this effectively since the crash in two thousand and eight we never had homelessness per se at least as far as i can remember i grew up in the seventy's and eighty's when we had a brutal recession but i never remember people sleeping on our streets in the last few years we've got this now in our land and it's shocking and devastating to see people in a st world very wealthy country being reduced to living in ten so then when you start to study the statistics you see that one in three social housing units is going to a non national and then you start to look more closely and you see a lot of our resources in terms of health care and education are also being used by people who are coming here at a time when we are not able to look after our own people properly we cannot look after our own people hotel the chances are you will not be served by an irish person so rural ireland is where you get the real arlen's still so people are very frightened if you speak out in any way shape or form against migration in this country you are  this is all about money because these people don't care about the migrants who come here and end up homeless so it's terrifying for rural arland terrifying and they see their towns and villages changing surely they see mosques going up and they see you know things to that that to them are just completely alien and they feel they feel under attack and they have every reason to we have one tiny little island ok to call home that's all we have we never went and colonized anywhere we just have that we have sixty million dollars in america in america who claim irish heritage and even though many of them are their parents or grandparents were forced to leave because we have always had a history of emigration they would someday like to come back here and their children and their grandchildren and their great grandchildren and they have a right to come back and claim their irish heritage we have many millions more living in the u k a australia new zealand and across the world and they too have a right to call this island home so  sorry no distress disrespect but arland primarily should be for the irish people due to the nature of our very unique culture and the fact that we were colonized for nearly a millennium by the british we fought hard for our independence now we have us a one hundred years and what are we doing in giving it away again makes no sense going into this i thought i had some understanding of the migration crisis coming from a political background from a journalism background having read the material looked at the studies spent a lot of time talking about it i really thought i had a better understanding of this issue than most people and i think there is a cultural pressure for people in general to pretend they understand these giant crises we're dealing with and offer solutions for them even when we don't have them and i can tell you right now being on the ground for four months meeting these people being in the middle of these shipments these angio operations the camps  discovered is that this is all so much more gray than i ever could of imagined are these people invaders are they intent on destroying the western world  a lot of them are like you and me just born in very unfortunate countries with unfortunate situations that they have hopes and dreams of leaving are they refugees i can't sit here and lie to you and pretend that they were a lot of the people i met i think the majority from countries that weren't in war people that had enough money to be able to buy a ticket to get on these boats who would hold houses  they owned in their home country who had businesses in their home country but they certainly weren't coming for the sole purpose of just invading the west pillaging it's fre or because they wanted to escape some sort of terror and this is the these are the narratives that are sold to us by the media that they're either escaping terror coming to pillage europe the truth is they have been told a lie human traffickers the media how they portray europe to these people it is a paradise these migrants truly believe they are coming to paradise you know you have all these people who are constantly chanting open borders who want to help who genuinely in their hearts believe they are doing good and they show up at train stations holding signs that say refugees welcome they knit them blankets they bring them baskets of food and they just think that bringing these people in is the most humanitarian and beautiful thing that you can do for both europe and these migrants but where are they when the cold french winter sets in where are they when these people are sleeping under bridges and living on the street and eventually when we figure it all out you're going to have a very broken and poor europe and a lot of hungry homeless lost and displaced people who were sold a lie and a lot of very wealthy evil and this this is the story that i didn't expect to find going on the ground but that's what we got story over borderless europe is one where nobody w
