Almost 10,000 illegal immigrants crossed the Evros border in October

All security guards of the Greek northern borders with Turkey in Evros are signaling the imminent reality of mounting illegal immigration in an effort to open the eyes of the Greek officials and even through a last minute solution, manage to stave off the tragic consequences of the problem. They have said that the present policies have only led to making Greece the number one destination for future illegal immigrants from all over Asia and Africa. For the moment, at one point they are called illegal immigrants and the next thing you know they receive a permit.

The Union of Border Guards present data according to which in October alone, 9,700 illegal immigrants entered the country, stating in their announcement that the present policies have turned them into “nurturers, nurses and ID issuers.”

“The picture of the towns and villages of the area is a shameful one. Something must be done for the situation to change since the present reality causes problems and nothing but problems to our prefecture and the country as a whole… People must realize that the problem concerns Europe as a whole, not just Greece”.

The Union awaits direct and drastic measures by the state in order to fight the existing plague and the flood of the incoming illegal immigrants”.
