Germany clamps down on illegal immigrants as country forced to rethink policies amid voter anger

The European Union has attempted to tackle illegal immigration through agreements with nations such as Tunisia, Egypt and Lebanon, but fears continue to prompt fears of migrant-driven crime.
Peter Aitken is a Fox News Digital reporter with a focus on national and global news.
The arrival of "irregular migrants," which is an alternative term for illegal immigration, has dropped across Europe this year by around 36%, but the concerns over the impact of such immigration remains a chief concern for the European Union as a whole, according to the bloc’s migration agency Frontex.
The bloc signed a series of migration agreements with Tunisia, Egypt and Lebanon, and the members worked out an agreement called the "Pact on Migration and Asylum," finalized in the summer, according to French outlet Le Monde.
