Abstract
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the contemporary migrants and refugee crisis in light of whether European and USA should have open border policy toward the asylum seekers or strict border regulation, given the infiltration of terrorist into this countries feigning as migrants.

The dependent variable are the number of refugee gaining entrance to European and USA as a result boarder policies taken.

1.0 Introduction
1.1 Background to the study
The escalation of violence in countries such as Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, and Libya has led to the displacement, forced migration and voluntary migration from the biggest group of people since the World War 2. According to UNHCR, almost 60 million have been forcibly displaced by the end of 2014 in the midst of ongoing conflicts in several African and Middle East countries (Castles, 2015). 2015, has seen an upsurge in the migrants and refugees going to Europe through Mediterranean Sea to seek asylum, and high rate of migration has led to death of many migrants following capsizing of their boats in the Mediterranean sea.
1.2 Problem Statement
The escalation in the number of people forcibly displaced from their homes by war or by economic pressure has attracted the global attention, especially with recent terrorist in the France capital city, Paris, has led to a gargantuan political dilemma amongst European and American countries, on whether to implement border restrictions or open up borders for the high number of desperate refuges. This has created the need to have a global policy toward the refuges and forced eviction.
1.3 Research Question
How effective are the cross border restriction policies in helping European and other countries like USA to deal with high rate of human migration and the overall contribution of these policies in escalation of Refugees& Forced migration crisis?

1.4 Hypothesis
The research is be carried out under the epistemological philosophy that border restrictions by European nations and other countries around the world negatively affects the welfare of the immigrants makes the problem of forced migration and refuges seeking asylum even worse, the opportunity that can be utilized by terrorist groups to recruit new members.
2.0 Methodology
2.1 Sampling Procedure
The random sampling is be employed where the probability is specified that each member of the population has an equal chance of been selected. The respondents in the study is be general population including, but not limited to political science students, tutors, and other members of public. The sample of 30 people is considered statistically sufficient to represent a given population and produce the required results (McNabb, 2014). However, the margin of error of the confidence interval is usually affected by the sample size.
The higher size of sample lowers the margin of error in a sample. This means that if one wants a smaller margin of error in research, it is important to use the large size of sample. However, given the .limitation of time and resources to involve a high number of participants, this research uses a sample of 40 people. This sample meets the statistical threshold of a valid sample and is help to portray the opinion of the general population. The population of this research is the general USA population. Specifically the research is seek to get the opinion of the general population on the effects of cross border policies to the immigration and forced eviction crisis.

2.2 Data Collection

The importance of integrating this two kinds of questions ids to ensure that the questionnaires captures both the opinion and supported facts about the whole issues, and allows the respondents to give their approval or disapproval of either open or closed border policy as a way of dealing with forced migrants and refuges.
2.3 Data Analysis
Descriptive statistics is be used to analyze the data. The statistics is provide simple summary about the measures and sample. This means that the analysis is involve simply describing what the data shows. Specifically, the university analysis is look at the dispersion, central tendency and distribution of the data.
2.4 Findings
The mean of the respondents is 1.25. This means that there were many males than females that were involved in the research. The standard deviation of the second question was 1.63 indicating that most of the people had similar or close responses, with the mean of 4.23 indicating that most of the people are in support of having strict border policy to enhance management of people. The standard deviation on the question regarding role played by closed border policy to minimize terrorism was 2.02 meaning that the opinions were relatively divergent with many people agree and many disagree, but aggregately many people disagreed with that preposition.

The fourth question touched on whether they support the move by the European countries to close their countries. The mean of the findings is 1.97 indicating that most of the people who responded to the questions are opposed to the move. They view the move as going against the human rights of the forced migrants. The mean of the question on the policies imposed by the European countries is 1.69. This means that most of the people do not support the move by countries like Greece to close their borders.
