A group of volunteers has created a host network to serve migrants and inform them about the public services they are entitled to and the ways to cross the border. This group of volunteers is avoiding a serious humanitarian problem Irun, the Basque municipality on the border with Hendaye. As the number of migrants arriving on the coasts of southern Spain increased, more and more migrants are heading north to the border city of Irun. French authorities have reacted by conducting random checks as far as the city of Bordeaux, more than 200 kilometers north of the border. Migrants who are caught are then deported back to Irun.
