In the 21st century, information has become a sculptor, meticulously crafting narratives and shaping public discourse around sensitive topics like illegal migration. Media outlets, once perceived as neutral platforms, are now wielding this chisel with increasing frequency, their strokes driven by political agendas or opportunistic exploitation of uncertainties. In the Maghreb region, this manipulation paints a stark picture: migrants morph into "enemies at the gate," threatening to invade Western nations. But beneath the surface of sensational headlines and carefully curated narratives lies a more complex reality. This study ventures into the tangled web of internet, media, and the illegal migration crisis in the Maghreb. We dissect the media's influence on public perception, scrutinize how governments leverage social media for intrusive surveillance, and expose the opaque tactics of internet censorship employed by host countries. Yet, our journey doesn't end there. We delve into crucial questions: how does media sculpt the political landscape surrounding migration pressure? Can we predict future migration flows based on the Maghreb context? By seeking answers, we aim to build a model that not only understands the past but anticipates the future. A future where migration is viewed with empathy and understanding, not manipulated with fear and division.
