• Approximately 239,000 immigrants irregularly entered the EU last year, 38% less than in 2023, largely due to reduced arrivals from Tunisia, Libya, and the Western Balkans.
• The decline in irregular entries shows that immigration alarmism is not based on real data.
• The proposal to create deportation camps for migrants in third countries is illegal and inhumane, and has been a failure.
• Countries collaborating with the EU on migration flows use EU funds to finance policies that violate migrants' rights.
• The new EU Commission still has time to change the anti-immigrant rhetoric, which is not only false but also impractical.

Conclusion: The EU should not yield to fear-mongering and xenophobia, but focus on real data and work on solutions that do not violate human rights or the principles of the EU.
