However, he also said that for Europeans: \u201cMigration has evolved from primarily a humanitarian issue to fundamentally a security matter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Thursday, EU migration and home affairs ministers will meet in the Polish capital, Warsaw, to examine more stringent efforts against migration, backed by the current Polish presidency of the bloc.<\/p>\n<p>Since taking office, President Donald Trump has taken a markedly tougher approach to immigration, restricting asylum access, sending troops to the US-Mexico border, and increasing immigration raids and fast-track deportations.<\/p>\n<p>Greece is a key entry point for irregular migration, particularly those fleeing wars or seeking a better life. Last year, it recorded a rise in sea arrivals, fueled by wars in the Middle East. Athens strongly supports calls by many European Union member states for direct EU funding to expand border walls.<\/p>\n<p>Greek authorities late Tuesday said 70 migrants had been detained off the tiny southern island of Gavdos and taken to the nearby island of Crete.
