European Parliament Approves New Law to Speed Up Deportation of Illegal Migrants.

The European Parliament has passed a law aimed at accelerating the deportation of illegal migrants. The law permits the construction of "return hubs" outside the European Union, essentially deportation centers, in addition to other provisions, including the allowance of searches of the residences of illegal migrants, an increase in their maximum imprisonment terms, and the implementation of stricter border control rules.

The passage of this law is a major step by the European Parliament in the field of immigration policy. The European Parliament, along with the European Council, is one of the two legislative bodies of the European Union. The European Parliament is composed of 720 members of the European Parliament (MEPs) representing the second largest democratic electorate in the world, numbering approximately 375 million voters. Since 1979, the European Parliament has been directly elected by European citizens through universal suffrage every five years.

In recent years, the European Parliament's legislative power in the field of immigration policy has gradually increased. The parliament plays an important role in the adoption of EU legislation, often requiring approval from the European Parliament. As a result, the law passed by the European Parliament will have a significant impact on the deportation and management of illegal migrants. The passage of the law also reflects the concern and attention of EU member states to the issue of immigration.

The European Parliament's passage of the law is set against the backdrop of the large-scale influx of immigrants into the European Union in recent years. Many illegal migrants have entered the EU through the Mediterranean and other borders, placing immense pressure on the social and economic systems of EU member states. Therefore, the EU must take effective measures to manage and control the flow of illegal migrants. The passage of this law is an important step taken by the EU in response to the issue of immigration.

However, the passage of the law has also sparked criticism from human rights organizations and immigration advocacy groups. Critics argue that this law will lead to tougher treatment and penalties for illegal migrants, possibly violating human rights and international law. As such, the European Parliament and the EU must strike a balance between the need to manage and control the influx of illegal migrants and the need to protect human rights and respect international law.

For Taiwan, the passage of this law has significant reference value in understanding international immigration policies and the legislative process of the EU. Although Taiwan is not a member of the EU, it faces similar issues in managing immigration and foreign labor. Taiwan can learn from the EU's experience and find suitable immigration policies and management measures for its own circumstances. Additionally, the legislative process of the EU can serve as a reference for Taiwan's legislative institutions, demonstrating how to strike a balance between social and economic needs and the protection of human rights and respect for international law.
