Abstract:
"How is undocumented migration typically mapped [...]? [...] we conduct an iconological dissection of what could be seen as the epitome of the cartography on undocumented migration, the map made by #Frontex – the EU’s border agency.
We find that, rather than a scientific depiction of a migratory phenomenon, its cartography peddles a crude distortion [...] and stands in full
confrontation with contemporary geographical scholarship. [...]."

Contrasts the all-too-familiar "invasion" framing with other maps
I believe #Frontex needs to be defunded and dismantled.
It's become a state within the state (or the union) - unaccountability is a problem in and of itself, and a breeding ground for further problems.
The whole complex is a festering abscess in the human rights record of the EU.
