Changes

Because of Greece's amorphous island borders, it has always been virtually impossible to prevent illegal entry and smuggling from Africa or Asia into Europe. In the contemporary setting, Greeks have not been particularly welcoming of immigrants who seem hostile or threatening to traditional Greek and European customs and culture. Because of the difficulty in preventing entry, the Greeks have become somewhat more tolerant so long as migrants pass through to other destinations such as Germany or Sweden, where the leftist open border policies welcome the invasion by foreigners.
