there is chaos and violence. so many people fled the middle east and north africa to europe, it has resulted in the european migrant crisis. as a result, "boat-people", which was once commonly referred to vietnamese boat people, became frequently used. these include refugees from libya or tunisia, escaping to the european union across the mediterranean sea. some european politicians fear the migrants might "flood" their shores. so many europeans are working on laws to help manage the arrivals along their nations' borders.
