Borders at the French Riviera - Europe between freedom and flight | DW Documentary

- The border post on the alpine frontier between France and Italy is crumbling. Meanwhile, down by the sea, people hoping for protection and a better life in Europe are being turned away. Europe has become a continent of contradictions. Once upon a time, the fall of the Iron Curtain and the increasing permeability of European Union frontiers represented growing unity. Now, more police are guarding borders like the one between Liguria and the Alpes Maritimes than perhaps any other frontier within the EU. Here, France is turning away refugees who have reached Italy mainly via the Mediterranean or the Balkan route and want to move on to northern Europe.

I like these documentaries which highlight the problems with open borders etc. These give good information of current news and people on the move. I understand there are alot of people who want to do good for illegal migrants but what they need to understand is life is even difficult for migrants who
migrated to EU and UK in 1950's and 1960's. My family have not only invested in the UK but also contributed throughput our working lives. Our NHS is non functional. Our schools cant cope and there is no affordable housing. We now have uncontrolled migration and during the past 5 years the UK has become a dumping ground. We no longer have a quality standard of life, we are no longer safe on our streets. We have enough EU criminals who roam our streets and are looked after by the state. The whole of Africa is burdening the EU. If these people do not stop invading other countries then we have no future. I am 64 and still working since I was 17. I can't retire yet and my body is becoming tired now. Is it fair to allow young men to enter illegally and be put up in 5 star hotels with nothing to do...good luck, we have destroyed the future of our grandchildren. How many more will arrive on our shores 😮
Wow.
So many future doctors, scientists, and engineers in one area.

Dream on!
I wonder how these individuals manage to get so much money to reach the EU, when I, as a person from a third-world country, can't even leave my city. They should use that money to go to the EU legally, through work and travel or study.
yes
@@juanmartin17292 REPLIES
Exactly
The EU, UN/IOM. And the sending countries governments. They want them to send remittances home. This is one of the UN's sustainable development goals. I am not sure how sucking on the teet of the US and Europe is sustainable, but hey, I am not an international communist, so what do I know.
Many of them borrow money for the journey, from people in their home community. Making it even more impossible for them to return back, before they have made some cash.
Why not go to Egypt or other countries close by? Because EU and USA give out free money.
It's not the 60s. We have real problems.
The colonists need to to take responsibilty. It;s inevitable thst all this migrant movement would eventually come back and BITE them in the Butt. Such is life. It's payback time folks....
🤗🤔🤔
Good question. They pass through many countries to reach America and Europe.
They want to go where the hand outs are…
👏
Egypt and such upper african countries were also having problems, I dont think it would be a good place for someone that came from Eritrea and Somalia for a long run on such a country that wanted to dominate the Nile river. They were also benefiting upon holding the hordes, why you would think they wanted to welcome these guys as well...
Mr. Roberto Bianco is being quite ridiculous. Those "refugees" are not being holocausted or driven into the ocean at a gunpoint. Also neither Italy nor France is the closest country to Sudan.
Yes. Egypt is next to Sudan and no war there. It's just they have a controlled boarder. 👀It was there.
@@NFTeve2 REPLIES
I agree that the comparision was quite not on point but what he probably meant is that there is natural move of young generations for a more peaceful place to live.
No, indeed, those migrants are dumped in Italy thanks to France, UK and German NGO ships.
The mighty "help" from the European Union.
Welcome them with open arms, as you escort them onto cargo planes, to fly them right back from which they came. Or to the nearest safe Nation that they came from originally, as UN law dictates.
Why didn't the same law apply when you were occupying Africa and stealing from them plus countless atrocities you committed in Africa
@@innocentnkwine3596 you must have me confused with somebody else, I've never been to Africa.
@@innocentnkwine3596 Bizarre take
@@innocentnkwine3596 well said...
@@innocentnkwine3596there were no laws at that time in Africa. It was open season for anyone who chose to exploit. The Africans put up no real resistance and today that great country is still being exploited by the Chinese and many other countries. Brenda
This documentary highlights the complexities of Europe's evolving border policies and their impact on people seeking refuge. It's a stark reminder of the contradictions within our continent. Thank you for shedding light on these important issues.
Hmmmm, all young men. Where are the families??
Home, waiting for 💰
It's well documented that since the journey is super dangerous young men take it and save money for a plane ticket to bring there families over so they don't die on the way over
Ever since I stumbled on DW channel on TH-cam I have always rely to it on trending news and documentaries. Thanks for this border piece it's informative and accurate.

Nobody, including the journalists does the most important question here: How these people get thousands of euros to pay smugglers to get to Europe. Anyone?
They sell all their worldly properties as well as rely on donations from family and friends
The EU, UN, IOM, and their country's government.
loaning, selling, setting money aside.
they see it as an investement, in the hope that one day the person could work & send money from here
The idea is that those 'journalists" are paid by the Globalists to present a nice story, it has to be emotional and gain empathy. The result is the opposite. We want them out of our land, our continent, our countries.
Those people don’t understand that they don’t have the skills or knowledge to live in Europe.
Most immigrants learn skills in countries where they emigrate to. Why it is different when it comes to African immigrants
I’m not a racist but I think to live in a new country and environment you do need some basic knowledge in order to integrate and make a living, Also it won’t be easy to learn when you are at a certain age , I am worried that they will be disappointed and turning into the world of criminals .It’s better if we can help them out in their countries instead.
Because they're Africans.@@grmbyn1
Jus like Germany many immigrants are becoming permanent residents,,,, through intergration system learning the Germany language then Apprenticeship
@@LinhLe-cc9ofgruesome blue collar work is extremely needed in Europe and no one wants to do it, a lot of the migrants have experience working in masonry, as electricians, plumbers, farm laborers …etc the only thing they require is accompanying them closely to learn and be certified to work with European standards and that will give Europe a 10x boost in productivity. But no one is thinking of that because it sounds very « socialist » so they’re left with a migrant integration problem.
"The Strange Death of Europe" by Douglas Murray
Amazing and well-researched book. Highly recommend
Illegals out and no more in. Enough.
And france out of niger,oh i forgot nigeriens kicked out france😂😂😂
Only legal migrants who naturalized legally and paid a lot of money for their naturalization documents.
Now migrants have fled to listen to you, and an even greater stream will come to you ahaha.

Let me educate you on your own laws: All EU countries abide by the declaration of human rights, which include the right to seek asylum, this is a legal right for anyone that reaches a EU member state.
Funded by the EU? Weird
yes
The EU has extended it's "borders" by paying various governments to stop Migrants from leaving.
@@MartinNew142 REPLIES
Keep feeding them and you'll get more & more & more !!!
Just like raccoons
@@ADUAquascaping. Raccoons are clever and precious. There aren’t billions of raccoons like humans.
This will be the downfall of the EU. Everyday, working Europeans have never given approval for this influx. National borders will soon be back 🎉
That’s not a way forward and not a reasonably solved problem, imho.
11:29 sounds delightful I wish I could live there - ew not the camp obviously! The people sound very nice. The village and the trees.
Great see some humanity still left in this crazy world 💕💕
They should not be distributed among all the countries of Europe, they should be turned back and relocated into their own countries or at least in Africa.
Freedom of movement in the EU does not mean everyone from everywhere can come in the EU, it means EU citizens (this is important, CITIZENS) get to move around in Europe freely. EU subsidizing places in Europe is normal, this is what the tax money is for, we are all happy to pay it. It is not to subsidize the citizens of FOREIGN, non-EU countries.
To be humane towards these people they need to stop believing the BS that Europe is "open for welfare" for everyone. This is not and cannot be the case. The EU should encourage nations, and even do its own initiative, to crack down on human traffickers who are abusing these people and also shut down the trafficking cartels. Criminals are getting fabulously rich by abusing EU borders.
Africa is kicking out france like niger,way to go niger
100%
People don't get to choose where they are born ...
Would you be kind enough and tell me the legal procedures that Europeans used when they were occupying Africa and robbing Africans off their natural resources
Sure, they are found in the same place with the legal procedures used 70 years later to grant the africans their national independence for free. At the same time that soviet tanks were rolling into Hungary and Czechoslovakia to crush any hope for freedom, the western europeans gave the africans their independence.
Most go to France because of the language. France used to have a foothold in Africa back in the day for their colonies. The Africans learned French and many parts of Africa still speak it fluently. Makes sense. The problem now. they are going to your backyard. Oh, history.
Used to you say? Google Burkina Faso, Mali.....news today
Deal with it
In 30 years the impacts of climate change will be very apparent throughout the world and especially in Africa. The population of Africa is also projected to double in 30 years. In terms of migrants Europe has seen nothing yet.
This. 2015 is going to be nothing.
Charities should fund plane tickets back to Africa!
Look up the case of Emmanuel Adeniji and you will understand why we cannot allow this

Protect our borders
Freeloading criminals
No to illegal immigrants
Really no resources from Africa then starve because you nothing without them! Pig
And no to in Africa
Stop plundering, stealing and occupying, you arrogant white man
It’s sad because you people have stole everything from them caused wars raped take diamonds lands etc then you have issue with them wanting to come there! Well I’m glad they are kicking France out survive on what you produce not a damn thing! Evil low energy piece of shits. I bet they will go back home!
Damn right! Only welcome migrants with suitcases full of money that drive up property prices and push out the locals.
No to immigrants
Italy must give Lampedusa to Libya or Tunisia ......the migration
Europe needs to put a stop to the wars in their home countries, stop wars in their tracks, stop wars before they begin... Europe needs to play a far more active and pro-active role in well known-hotspots that fuel the misery of these people. And waring fractions in these hotspots need to be made aware that they there will be serious European counter-action to their domestic hostilities, justice, etc. Unfortunately Europe has been unable, unwilling, divided, dealing with wars and hostilities on its own land... to pursue the above.
yes
@@juanmartin17292 REPLIES
Do you mean the European Union? There has been no war in the EU. You need to be a bit more precise.
@@connectingthedots100 no I mean Europe , Europe is not just the EU.
@@dimitristsagdis7340 Yeah but all of Europe doesn't act as a political entity. It's the EU and then some nation states. Also there are limit as to the purpose and scope of the EU. It just a union of individual countries.
I don't like how simple these people are I want to go to France, but the real question is do the French people want you........just because you want something in life don't mean you will get it
I want Lamborghini, and big mansion plus 10 millions every month.
Come back to Africa brethren....
Nice propaganda.
its not inhumane. Can not be THAT soft. Jobs and several barriers are on the line
Move
Build your home, work and pay taxes, raise a family. Look forward to retirement, and visits from friends and family, NO you must open your home and house men that you don't know, they sit in kitchen, must cook them food, wash and clean their bedroom.. "It will make your former boss feel good".. the boss you never met or knew because you worked all of your life...
No go illegal immigrants
Great documentary 👍.
Thanks for watching!
Bad idea to be border free.
Emmanuel Adeniji
Better to go back home
All that lovely 3rd dross coming to the UK
If there was no freedom of movement of people in the EU then there would not be a problem with the mess today. Tranding union fine but not federal union. I am glad the UK left the EU.
And what if thousands arrive?
Grant illegal immigrants asylum to the other world. Since they don't abide to the laws, they also don't have rights.
Thilo Sarrazin and Douglas Murray have been highlighting these issues for YEARS!
Sorry, NO to illegal immigrants. If they want to be in Europe, they should apply thru legal channels. Look at what is going on inSweden. Or travel there. Talk to Swedes living there.
I agree they should apply legally like us foreigners who went through the right process to work here in EU.
@@jonAmazeingthey dont get in, because immigration laws to Europa are strict.
what's going on in sweeten?
Another truthful documentary was shared by an excellent ( DW) documentary channel... a wonderful documentary that shows humanity prospectives of people while French authority practices strictly processes to ward's migrate
No whats an imhumane perspective is the sheer fucking entitlement to invade another country and benefit off all its resources and freedoms without even the bare minimum consideration of identifying yourself to that country to make sure you're not a felon.
Tell me , a Land ,where this people are welcome ? They own countries , want them back. WHY ? I know , you too ?
If the legal ways were open then they wouldn’t come illegally just logic
Are European tax payers funding this.
Almost all of them are males.
you can't travel to other country illegally
Freeloaders
Fish out of water.
There’re good people out there, though slim, there’s still faith left in humanity.
Besides this old news they dont want to be there get out of Africa and make your own way goes both way c
Wrt "goes both way" [sic]...
Just imagine, if all the African's left Africa for Europe / north America... and, conversely, all the Europeans / north Americans left Europe / north America and went instead to Africa... veritably an exodus of both groups, each from one locale to the other... how do you think that would turn out, i.e. which group & scenario would latterly prosper the most ?!
They wanted independance and know they want to go in our country?
So why is the documentary exposing the hidden path? This is bait
It's over
Sink their ships.
God bless the volunteers and church and of course the migrants. So beautiful to see their humanity, they exemplify the meaning of the word.
Don't be naive. Mass immigration is unjustified
First of all, when will France stop colonialism and be a modern civilized country?
As China is currently colonizing Africa...
When will the world annihilate communism?
When all european countries get out of Alkebulan, then, at the moment, all people from Alkebulan are welcome in europe
Propaganda channel smh. Ruining the world
Great....❤❤
People shouting Emmanuel Adeniji is about as dumb as me shouting Le Scouarnec and saying all French people are pedos!
Every day, your reporting is more disappointing! I cannot believe that you are doing a documentary on this issue, in the Roya Valley, without even mentioning the amazing contribution of Cédric Herrou, who has rescue countless exhausted migrants coming through his property in the mountains, who has been taken to court by the French authorities for having the audacity to help people in need. After years of incessant harassment by the French judicial system and right-wing politicians, Cedric finally won and founded the first agriculture based Emmaus community, and continues to help migrants in need. I seriously can't believe Cedric doesn't feature in your documentary, simply baffling!
Cédric Herrou is a French olive farmer and immigration activist. He became known in France and internationally following his arrests for helping more than 250 migrants cross into France from Italy. Herrou's efforts have been described in the media as the "French Underground railroad"
Our sustenance has been arranged by God. We just pick it up. For example, you were born in America but work in Japan. You were born in Africa but went to Italy. because you were born in Africa of course you don't have the skills like Europeans. your country conflict, economic recession etc.
