    If you can make your own way to Northern Africa you should be able to barter your way onto a people smugglers boat across to Europe. It’s a risky crossing but many make it for the hope of better work and healthcare prospects.

      Bro I bet if you did allll that work and took all that risk just to make your life maybbeee better that at the end of the day the people living in the place you made it to would be blown away by your incredible bravery and resolve and would welcome you with open arms into their society and economy!

      Or maybe they would just pay their coast guard to troll around drowning migrant boats with heavily armed speed boats with expensive lights on and an automated voice message that says “go home” and shrug and say “well we tried!!” as families drown right in front of their eyes.
