The European Union has taken significant steps in tightening immigration policy, reflecting deep concerns over security, integration and border management. In recent years, high waves of migration, both due to conflict and economic factors, have sparked heated debate among member states. New policies focused on tighter border controls and increased immigration controls aim to respond to these challenges. One of the key steps in this policy is the implementation of a more sophisticated surveillance system at the European Union’s external borders. Member states have been instructed to increase the use of technology, such as drones and sensors, to monitor the movement of refugees and illegal immigrants. This aims to reduce the number of people entering the European Union without legal permission, while channeling aid to countries that really need it. The agreement reached between member states also includes the construction of registration centers in border member states. This center functions to identify and process refugees before they can proceed to other countries within the European Union. With this approach, the European Union hopes to create a more orderly system and reduce pressure on countries that are the main destinations for immigration. Apart from that, this new policy also includes stricter regulations on visas. The visa application process has now become more complicated and requires more documents. This is not only to screen economic migrants but also to ensure that refugees coming to the European Union have undergone thorough background checks. This strengthening of visa policies creates additional barriers for those seeking to enter illegally. From a humanitarian perspective, the European Union must balance the need to maintain security with its moral responsibility to assist those fleeing conflict or persecution. The refugee resettlement program is one of the solutions offered. However, implementation is often hampered by the varying national policies of each country, making consensus difficult to achieve. These changes also have implications for the European Union’s relations with foreign countries, especially in terms of immigrant return agreements. The European Union seeks closer cooperation with countries of origin and transit to address the causes of migration, such as poverty and political instability. Through this agreement, it is hoped that there can be continuity in handling human movement by providing development support in the country. At the domestic level, stricter immigration policies are fueling debate regarding social integration for immigrants already living in Europe. Criticism has emerged regarding the potential marginalization of these communities, where they face challenges in accessing basic services and fair employment opportunities. A focus on tougher immigration policies has the potential to divert attention from the urgent need to improve integration programs. New policies in the European Union reflect the complex realities of immigration. A stricter approach offers necessary protections while presenting new challenges that member states must face. Collaborative efforts are needed in dealing with various existing dimensions, so that risks and opportunities can be managed wisely.
