Illegal immigrants head for Holland

I want to go to the Netherlands!" yells an immigrant who has just been arrested at the border between Turkey and Greece.

The Dutch military police that help patrol the border say they can’t stop the flow of illegal immigrants. And they have little confidence in the effectiveness of the fence that Greece is planning to build to keep the immigrants out.
