Policies Asylum system in EU
The media is awash with pictures of people seeking refuge in Europe, arriving on Greek islands in terrible situations. The lack of appropriate humanitarian response is shocking. Humanitarian relief and safe passage are needed .

Asylum seekers are protected under both domestic and international law to be allowed to stay while their claims are reviewed. The expedited process from the executive order stripes asylum seekers from this. Reese argues that the problem is “that the law protecting asylum seekers is too often ignored,” and while I agree with that, I also add the belief that one of the problems regarding this is that people are misinformed about who asylum seekers are, and more times than not confuse asylum seekers and refugees with immigrants. Confusing them can have detrimental consequences as it creates a negative narrative and not only ignores the law that protects them, but it makes it even harder for authorities to recognize and uphold such rights.

Mandatory detention is continually used a means of processing unauthorised entrants to a country, which includes both economic migrants as well as those fleeing persecution (Skulan, 2006). It is interesting to note that for the last two decades, countries have acknowledged that detention is undesirable and may only be resorted to under certain conditions.
