Several hundred migrants gather behind barbed wire on the Belarusian side of the Polish-Belarusian border. For several months, thousands of migrants, encouraged by Alexander Lukashenko's regime, have been trying to cross the border illegally to enter the European Union. Poland has sent thousands of soldiers to the area, enforced a state of emergency in the region complete with a media blackout. It has also built a razor-wire fence and approved the construction of a wall. IMAGES
Hundreds of migrants wait to be processed by US authorities in Eagle Pass, Texas, after crossing the US-Mexico border. The state's Republican governor signed a bill on Monday that would allow state police to arrest and deport migrants who cross illegally into the United States from Mexico. The move by Governor Greg Abbott sets up a potential legal clash with the federal government, which generally sets and enforces immigration laws. IMAGES
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko visits a centre for the hundreds of migrants that remain in Belarus after attempting to cross into the EU via the Polish border. Thousands of migrants -- mainly Iraqi Kurds -- have spent months trying to get into the European Union from Belarus. The crisis escalated earlier this month with around 2,000 setting up a makeshift camp on the border in freezing conditions. IMAGES
