In this picture taken Thursday, June 11, 2014, Syrian refugees arrive at the Garibaldi train station in Milan, Italy. Every day, boatloads of refugees arrive on Italian shores. European Union law requires Italy to fingerprint them, so that if they apply for asylum in another country they can be sent back to their port of entry. Instead, Italy is helping thousands of undocumented migrants slip quietly into northern Europe, with no record of their time in Italy. (AP Photo/Luca Bruno)
