===Points of entry===
There have been primarily four entry points most heavily used by migrants, although other peripheral points exist: (1) [[Morocco]] via [[Spain]]; (2) post-[[Gaddafi]] [[Libya]] to [[Italy]] and neighboring [[Mediterranean]] shores; (3) Western Balkan route through [[Greece]], [[Macedonia]], [[Albania]], [[Kosovo]], [[Serbia]], and [[Hungary]]; (4) Eastern Mediterranean through [[Turkey]]. Handbooks printed in [[Arabic]] have been found to help migrants shopping for the best social [[welfare state]] offerring the most benefits for them and their families needs.<ref>[http://news.sky.com/story/sky-finds-handbook-for-eu-bound-migrants-10346437 Sky Finds 'Handbook' For EU-Bound Migrants], Jonathan Samuels, ''Sky News'', 13 September 2015 </ref><ref>See interview beginning at 11:15.

=== Europe and illegal immigration ===
As far as [[illegal immigration]] to Europe, ''The American Interest'' website declares:
{{Cquote|Securing Europe’s vast land and sea borders—a task greater than that faced by the United States along its border with Mexico—is proving exceptionally challenging for the European Union (EU)....
Traffickers use small boats to reduce the chances of being picked up by patrol boats’ radars; migrants are often dropped off on stretches of inaccessible coastline, or left to drift ashore. In the case of illegal land crossings, small trucks are used to penetrate the most porous parts of eastern or southern Europe’s borders. Penalties for this are low or non-existent all around Europe, and traffickers are rarely caught anyway. Smuggling people across Europe has become easier and more profitable than anything other criminal activity, including drugs.<ref>[http://www.the-american-interest.com/2014/09/05/europes-immigration-crisis/ Europe’s Immigration Crisis]</ref>}}
