Weird how these streams of immigrants are always young men, and almost never families or groups of women and children actually fleeing some real war or oppression.

Illegaly crossing a border is difficult. Better have the young men take a shot. Then after a year when they settle in Europe they use family reunification policies to get the rest of the family over, by airplane.

Moroccan government is doing this on purpose and they are not probably the only country doing it. https://x.com/visegrad24/status/2082842354927456322

why would you link to that xenophobic garbage account

Do you have a more credible source than first hand account of dealing with Moroccan government I linked?

This article seems very one-sided, as do many others I looked through. The 'why' of people trying to cross seems to be totally ignored.
