Global Issue : Europe Refugee

    This year there was a big news in EU, in Mediterranean sea there was about ten thousands of immigrant trying to escape from their country, the main reason is civil war, persecution and fleeing the poverty . According to United Nation , beginning of the year about thirty thousands of refugee go through Mediterranean sea trying to find the safety place , the immigrant amount already higher than last year , it’s pretty confuse European Union.
           United Kingdom prime minster accept thousands of Syria refugee come to their country , UK prime minster say it can’t really solve the refugee problem so they start to find out the solution. According to EU rules, immigrants need to apply government asylum to the first country they come in, but most of them didn’t want to apply because their goal is escape to France or north Europe. The escape to those place because in EU there is a sign that they can freely go through each country and it benefit to EU economy, because this reason refugee try to go to those country, so in EU everyday news there were a lot refugee confrontation or against to police.
       EU serious look at this problem and hardly to solve this problem, the reason they start to look at it because there was a child body deadly lying on the beach in this picture, but to Europe their economy is getting worse, some of country can’t take care themselves, like Italy Greece have debt problem.
        Now EU still finding the solution to solve this problem, to me I really feel sad to those refugees, hope they can quickly find the way so they don’t need to escape around.
