在过去两年中，欧盟边境管理局检测到的非法越境人数减少了一半以上，同时整个欧盟的庇护申请也急剧下降。将于6月12日生效的新欧盟移民方案将进一步收紧外部边境控制，以巩固这一趋势。

为了遏制非正规移民，欧盟正利用与过境国的资金交易，并在边境拘留获得庇护机会较低的申请人。此外，6月1日达成的一项协议允许将落选的申请人转移到乌干达或乌兹别克斯坦等国的境外遣返中心。

尽管新入境人数有所减少，但由于融入挑战和右翼民粹主义政党的崛起，移民问题在欧洲政治中仍是一个极具毒性的议题。这种持续的敌意正在推动民族主义议程，尽管欧洲最终将需要移民来抵消其人口下降的影响。

Illegal border crossings detected by Frontex have decreased by more than half over the past two years, accompanied by a sharp decline in asylum demands across the EU. A new EU migration package taking effect on June 12th will further tighten external border controls to reinforce this trend.

To deter irregular migration, the EU is utilizing cash deals with transit nations and detaining low-chance asylum seekers at the border. Additionally, a June 1st agreement enables the transfer of rejected applicants to offshore return hubs in countries like Uganda or Uzbekistan.

Despite fewer new arrivals, migration remains a highly toxic issue in European politics due to integration challenges and the rise of right-wing populist parties. This persistent hostility is driving nationalist agendas, even though Europe will ultimately need migrants to offset its demographic decline.
