What is happening with migration?
The European Union (EU) faced a migrant explosion in 2015 with more than a million migrants. The following year, 2016, this catastrophic situation normalized to a number below 400,000. The following year, the number of migrants fell below an acceptable 200,000 and continued to fall below 100,000 until 2023.
In 2023, the number of migrants rose above 200,000 again and then began to decline again until this year, 2025. However, in this unfinished year, more than 100,000 foreign migrants crossed the EU borders. Despite the imminent outbreak of war in Ukraine due to the invasion of Russian military units and increasing financial or even economic pressure, the EU is still struggling with an ever-higher number of migrants, to whom the EU is still the promised paradise. This year, more than 12,000 people illegally entered the EU, which is a much smaller number than in previous years.
No matter how one assesses the problems or even the benefits of migration in the EU, migration policy has resulted in the fact that 6% of foreign migrants from the entire population or the number of registered residents of the EU already reside in the EU. There are already 11.2 million foreign migrant workers in the EU, despite all the frequent predictions or actual situations of an increase in the number of unemployed people. Thus, we could conclude that numerous migrations of people of working age also bring or cause an increased unemployment rate.
The migrant crisis is also easing in Slovenia. Out of last year's nine-month 37,220 illegal migrations, the border police registered only 19,470 illegal migrants from January to the end of September this year. The most common illegal migrants are from Afghanistan, Bangladesh and Egypt.
This year, Slovenia also has a paradoxical or not situation in the area of detected illegal residences. In the first nine months of this year, police have already detected 1,588 such cases on Slovenian territory, which is more than last year's 1,331. These figures should not ignore the fact that, given the imminent threat of war, Slovenia and the EU should also deal with increased security within their territory, not just at the borders.
