The image above shows, Syrian and Iraqi refugees caught
in-between the two protective fences that lay between Greece and Macedonia.
These migrants have illegally crossed the border seeking a place to settle down
and escape the deadly conflicts happening in their own home countries. Due to
the massive amount of refugees flooding across the border of Macedonia, the
Macedonian government is restricting the entry of asylum seekers to match the
number of those leaving the country, letting in only migrants from Syria and
Iraq. About seven thousand refugees are stranded in the northern part of Greece's
boarder, and had to be pushed back by riot police because of the number of
refugees trying to get across the razor sharp fences. The build up of migrants
is due to a number of European countries, deciding to slow the amount of
refugees passing into their country. Amnesty International has been very
critical of European countries for failing to accommodate the stranded
refugees. The leader of the European council plans on visiting these areas
highly populated refugees to figure out a plan. He intends on calling a meeting
with the European countries, with the hopes of relieving the pressure of the
nations, that have been dealing with the refugee crisis.
I feel that the refugee crisis directly relates to
globalization because of the migrants leaving their home countries in search of
a new nation to call their own. Because of this, many countries have to
struggle to face the millions of poor refugees trying to gain access into their
country. I believe that has a huge effect on a nations security and their economy.
