Migration Trends in Europe

The International Herald Tribune (here) has an interesting article on current migration trends in Europe.  As the currents begin to shift and the weather improves, the first patched-up fishing boats crowded with Africans have resumed their attempts to cross from West Africa to the Canary Islands of Spain. But the Africans are not the only migrants risking this route now. Asians are joining in. While some Asians have long strived to get into Europe by land routes, there is agreement now that they are favoring the much longer and more dangerous route from West Africa by the sea.
