“Those from other countries, who try to reach Europe, come for a better life often facing adverse conditions.”

Illegal immigration is not a new concept in today’s world, where it is becoming a common practice.

People may tend to condemn those who do this, but they should not be deluded: they face extreme conditions to just dream of having everything we now take for granted.

These immigrants come from very poor countries, and to arrive in Europe, they face grueling situations. In the text we read about this situation, a man shares his testimony on how he lived to get to Spain: he drank muddy water and ate plants to be able to survive until his destiny.

This is only one case.

It is impossible to write about all the difficulties that these illegal immigrants face and we can only imagine it. Yet, we can all wonder what it is like: seeing your companions dying when striving for the same goal we have – a better life.
