Irregular migrant border crossings on the rise, Frontex says
By EUobserver
The EU's border police Frontex says it detected over 86,000 irregular entries of migrants along the EU's external borders between January and May this year, representing an 82 percent increase when compared to the same time last year. The figure includes people who may have been detected multiple times, meaning the same person may have crossed the border more than once.
