The decision marks the highest number since 2016, at the height of Europe's migrant crisis.
The Border Agency noted that last year's increase followed a “consistent upward trend over the past three years” and represented a 17% increase compared to 2022.

Commenting on this figure, Frontex Executive Director Hans Leitens said: “The figures presented today demonstrate the evolving challenges we face in managing the EU's borders.

The surge in illegal immigration to Europe is having serious political consequences, with populist parties emerging across the continent and neoliberal globalist governments rushing to confront the problem.
Years of economic stagnation following coronavirus lockdowns and the war in Ukraine, combined with frustration over billions more spent on illegal immigration across Europe, led to a victory for populist supporters such as the Netherlands' Geert Wilders. This has spurred a surge in opposition opinion polls. – Mass immigration parties like Alternative for Germany (AfD).
Immigration is likely to be a major issue as more than 450 million Europeans head to the polls in June to elect the next EU parliament. Globalist figures such as French President Emmanuel Macron have recently made concessions to the right and vowed to step up deportations, but his centrist government, after years of campaigning, has joined Marine Le Pen's National Rally. It is unlikely that defecting voters can be brought back. Policies that border the Parisian establishment.
Anticipating clearly heavy losses, globalist forces across Europe are threatening to step up anti-democratic efforts to “defend” democracy, with leading politicians in Berlin calling for a complete ban on the populist party AfD. EU Prime Minister Ursula von der Leyen said: Speaking at the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos, she called for increased censorship ahead of the election.
