The European migrant crisis, or less precisely European refugee crisis, began in 2015 when rising immigration numbers of unauthorised foreign migrants arrived in the European Union (EU), travelling across the Mediterranean Sea or overland through Southeast Europe. These unauthorised foreign migrants encompassed not only asylees seeking to apply for refugee status and the right of asylum in claims to be individually determined as genuine or not, but also encompassed various other groups such as economic migrants and hostile agents including "Islamic State militants".
