Greece Cracks Down on Illegal Immigration: No More Legalization

Greece Tightens Immigration Stance: No Legalization for Illegal Immigrants Greece is taking a stricter approach to illegal immigration, according to a recent statement by Migration and Asylum Minister Makis Voridis. In a televised interview, Voridis announced that under a new government directive, no illegal immigrants will be granted legal status in the country. The focus will now be on expediting their return to their home countries. "The Prime Minister's order prioritizes the returns," Voridis stated, emphasizing the government's commitment to stricter border controls and deportation procedures. This policy shift reflects a growing concern within the Greek government about the increasing number of illegal immigrants and the strain it places on national resources. The announcement has sparked debate among various political factions and advocacy groups. While some applaud the government's firm stance, others express concern about the potential humanitarian implications of such a policy. The long-term effects of this policy on Greece's immigration landscape remain to be seen.
