The most interesting thing about the immigration crisis is the drastic changes that it forced on unexpecting cities. Most harbor cities along the coasts of Morocco and Algeria are completely overwhelmed with immigrants seeking refuge in Europe. The patterns that stood out most were the dense migration paths leading out of the countries with the most immigrants leaving. Obviously the cities that lie between Mogadishu, Somalia and Tripoli, Lybia are experiencing increased traffic as the migrants pave their way to Europe. The strain felt all throughout cities in Germany and France are extreme. In all my research I found multiple articles that all addressed the issues of a mass migration, but very few described any viable solutions. In fact, most sources simply cry for the EU to come up with solutions that will decrease both violent crimes induced by migration and the influx of people in ideal regions.
