"Without clear border crossing" means it is the same as the land borders
that you mentioned before while leaving out Denmark.

You already mentioned that before.  I mention the sea borders for two
reasons:  (1) you probably think you are dealing with Americans who
have no concept of geography (which in some cases you might be), and (2) you
need to freshen up on how immigrants of the illegal variety usually arrive by
sea (hint: they usually don't follow the law and they intentionally avoid
inspection points, although they often do get caught -- at least here they
do sometimes).

Probably the same way they reach the US and then later reach Canada.  Or,
for that matter, how the ones that are not even from the Americas eventually
reach Mexico in order to enter the US.  All allegedly illegal but all
happen.  Some of them likely even had to fly into somewhere, which should
be caught wherever they land but somehow is not always.  Some of our
Southern neighbors don't enforce their immigration laws at even airports.

Maybe they arrive with the illegal coke shipments into Antwerp and are
smuggled from there.

In the case of Sweden, though, I don't really think they are all illegal
because Sweden, as an EU member, agreed to take them in this case.
