Illegal Immigrants Pain behind Life DignityAt the night of April,18th,2015,a ship that carriedat least 700 illegal immigrants including many women andchildren sank in the Libya water area,200 kilometers to thesouth of Lampedusa Island,Italy,due to serious overload.Only 28 people were rescued in the accident and this tragedywas regarded by the media as the most horrifying marineaccident after the World War II.Zeid Raad Al Hussein,high commissioner of UN HumanRights Office flayed the European Union immigrant policy afterthe accident and said the indifference and negative act of EUmakes Mediterranean a great graveyard.UNSecretary-General Ban Ki-moon,UN agencies andinternational organization all expressed concerns about this andcalled on EUs support for illegal immigrants in Mediterraneanand enforcement of cracking down on illegal immigrationbroker of related countries.As we all know,illegal immigrant has unpredictable risks,but continues despite repeated prohibition.Why stowaways arewilling to risk danger in desperation at the expense of their liveswhen there are clear restrictions?Behind illegal immigrants,besides tears and sorrows,how to cherish life dignity?Illegal immigrants become a trendStatistics of Guangming Daily show that,during the first 4months of 2015,1600 illegal immigrants died inMediterranean.SinceArabic Spring,the number of illegalimmigrants from Africa to Europe has been on the rise.From2002 to 2010,20,000 illegal immigrants each year landed inItaly and it reached 169,000 only in 2014.Whats more,other statistics show that,in 2014 alone,over 3,000 peopledied in sank ships and at least 1,750 people died inMediterranean when trying to steal into Spain or Italy.Marco Leo,Deputy Mayor of Catania,Italy said to themedia with light sadness in an open interview that:the cityreceives over 300 immigrants almost every week,but until inrecent days this problem got concerns from the internationalcommunity through media.In fact,just as Marco said,the problem of illegalimmigrant worldwide is an age-old one.It is of great sorrow tosee the frequent tragedies caused by many reasons.The earlyUN statistics shows that,since 1993,at least 20,000 Africanillegal immigrants died in Mediterranean.In October,2013,two ships with abundant Africanillegal immigrants wrecked near the water area of LampedusaIsland,Italy one after another and caused 416 deaths in total;in the last ten days of the same month,proved by Italianpolice,they rescued over 700 stowaways in theMediterranean between Sicily and North Africa in 5 rescuingactivities.Besides the reasons above,somepsychologists said the legal loopholes also proved breeding soilto illegal immigrants.The immigrant policies in somedestination countries give stowaways chances to have a try.Some said,many illegal immigrants in America are caused byits laws.Such as the provision in 1980 Refugee Act that any onewhen entered America,if they apply for asylum,thegovernment should give the chance of hearing.Since theprolonged period of waiting for hearing,many peopledisappear during released on bail pending trial.However,theculture of stowaway derives from thecomparing mentality in some backward countries.The ideaofone can make more money aboard than at home leads tothe aspiration of becoming rich by stowaway.Of course,for stowaways,on the way to the dreamheaven,besides the possibility of death,a successstowaway doesnt mean getting the things done once and forall that there are lots of difficulties in real life.The story disclosed by Jose Antonio Vargas of his is just thecase and people can see the influence on him from illegalimmigrant.As a former reporter of Washington Post,he wonthe Pulitzer Journalism Prizes since he had taken part in thereport of gunshot of Virginia Tech University.But behind theglorious experience of being awarded,the experience of his asan illegal immigrant from Philippine since 12,which means thesuccess didnt bring him more sense of security,but morefears.Because he has no legal ID card,in order to live,he hasto hide identity by cheating and changing job frequently.Hecannot travel abroad and get close to colleagues and friendsdue to fears of being repatriated.It takes time to solve crisesJust like what is said above,there is no panic when seeingfrequent tragedies.But in term of how to solve the crises ofillegal immigrant,EU seems can not give a fundamentalsolution as well.Italy feels lonely in this humanitarian action,Marco didnt hide his complicated mind for the frequent marine accidentsin Mediterranean.He even stressed that,Italy was onceabandoned at the front line,and until it comes the hugepressure from public opinion,EU members stand on the sameside of adding rescuing.The reason lies in the troubles brought by illegal immigrantfor countries in Europe.Some experts said,the illegal immigrants should bedigested by the whole Europe.It is because when an illegalimmigrant gets legal residential right in one country,heshethen can go to other countries.But accordi
