migrants

Migrants are individuals who move from one country or region to another, often to seek better living conditions, escape conflict or persecution, or reunite with family. Their movement can be legal, such as through visa programs, or undocumented, meaning they enter or reside in a country without legal permission.

Why it’s in the news: Migrants are in the news due to a border crisis in Ceuta, involving mass attempts to cross from Morocco into Spanish territory and subsequent political tensions between European nations over their management.
