Policemen look on as refugees from Syria demonstrate against violence near the Cologne main train station in Cologne, western Germany on January 16, 2016, where hundreds of women were groped and robbed in a throng of mostly Arab and North African men during New Year's festivities. German authorities said that nearly all the suspects in a rash of New Year's Eve violence against women in Cologne were "of foreign origin", as foreigners came under attack amid surging tensions. / AFP / PATRIK STOLLARZ (Photo credit should read ) Europe Can’t Be Soft on Crime Anymore

GREECE. Kos. September 11, 2015. A small dinghy of migrants arrives in Kos. Tens of thousands of migrants have attempted the journey in flimsy craft from Turkey to Kos. Hundreds of thousands have set off to other Greek islands. The death of Aylan Kurdi the previous week set off a firestorm of attention to the plight of migrants and refugees (largely from Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan) crossing into Europe. More than 500,000 have arrived thus far in 2015. The Road to Germany: $2400
Each of the millions of Syrian refugees who have fled their brutalized, unrecognizable homeland did so for uniquely personal reasons—the regime bombarding cities, the Islamic State threatening a return to the dark ages, the loss of jobs in a crumbling economy. Yet their quests cohered around one purpose: They all wanted better lives. ¶ Some set out on a complicated journey to Europe with a crude graphic—a flowchart of the route from Turkey to Germany—as a guide. In its rudimentary geometry, refugees saw an accessible dream. In its illustrated stick figures, kicking their heels upon reaching the final destination, they saw themselves. They allowed an image, powerful and meditative in its simplicity, to shape their personal stories. ¶ FP has done the same. On the following pages, the odyssey of several refugees—men, women, and children—is presented in the form of a nonfiction comic. Each panel is based on firsthand reporting gathered by journalist Alia Malek: Captions describe real events, and speech bubbles show either direct (shaded in pink) or paraphrased quotes. ¶ Showing what happens when strangers are thrown together by adversity—how desperate alliances form and dissolve—it is a diary of an exodus from a war zone to a hopeful, if uncertain future in the West. ¶ How long the voyage to asylum would take, the refugees didn’t know; they prayed that they would survive it.

BERLIN, GERMANY - NOVEMBER 02: Women pushing baby carriages in front of a Albanian pub in Sonnenallee in Neukoelln district on November 02, 2013 in Berlin, Germany. The pub is named after the Albanian village Radush in Macedonia. The men came to Germany, along with around two hundred other families from the same village. According to recently published statistics, 7.2 million foreigners were living in Germany by the end of 2012, which is the highest number ever recorded. Of those 80% are from countries in the European Union, while the rest come primarily from Turkey, Russia, the former Soviet states and Arab countries.

A refugee is wrapped in a survival blanket upon his arrival on the shore of Sykamias beach, west of the port of Mytilene on the Greek Island of Lesbos, on September 20, 2015, after crossing the Aegean sea from Turkey, on the Greek island of Lesbos. Over half a million migrants have crossed the European Union's border so far this year, up from 280,000 in 2014, the bloc's Frontex border agency said on September 15, 2015 -- but warned some people may have been counted twice.

The push for a bigger, badder Frontex is about political showmanship -- not a real solution to the migration crisis.
