Back in June, police began hauling away mostly African migrants from makeshift camps on the Italy-France border as European Union ministers met in Luxembourg to settle out plans to deal with the immigration crisis. Around 100,000 migrants have entered Europe so far this year, with 2,000 left dead or missing during their quest to reach the continent. Italy and Greece have borne the brunt of the surge, with many more expected to arrive from June through to September.

 The EU this year agreed to triple funding for sea rescues off the coasts of Italy and Greece. Also, the EU interior ministers disagreed over how the migrants should be split up equitably to ease the load on the two southern nations. Latvian Interior Minister Richards Kozlovskis, whose country currently holds the EU's rotating presidency, said after the meeting that he doesn’t believe there is a common view to whether it should be voluntary or compulsory. A Sudanese migrant under the name of Saddam said, “I know we are black and we come from Africa, but we are still humans.”

 I believe that these people should be treated like they are humans not like they are lesser. It’s good that European Union ministers are attempting to settle out the plant to deal with the immigration crisis. I understand how the EU has agreed for the triple funding for sea rescues off the coasts of Italy and Greece. Although, I have to disagree about how the EU ministers disagreed over how the migrants should be split up equitably to ease the load on the two southern nations.
