The Agenda: Who really controls Europe's borders?

The Agenda

What do the recent events in Ceuta really tell us about the scale of Europe's immigration crisis? And why, after so many years of governments across Europe insisting that halting illegal immigration is at the top of their agenda, does the problem only seem to be getting worse? Is it time for a Europe-wide approach? And is all this just playing into the hands of the far right across the continent?

On this edition of The Agenda, Juliet Mann is joined by Anna Terrón Cusí, Senior Fellow at the Migration Policy Institute and Spain's former Secretary of State for Immigration and Emigration; Beatriz de León Cobo, Director of the Spanish Institute for the Analysis of Migration; Dr Omer Shatz, co-director of front-LEX; and Dr Isabelle Schäfer, Research Fellow at DGAP's Center for Migration.
