This is not good. Every migrant from any part of the world in any country should live peacefully and harmony with the host country man. Also follow the guidelines and rules of the country and the police force

Those are no migrants or refugees. Migrants and refugees are people who move from one country to another by legal means. If you want tourists to feel safe arriving to Faro you should not have illegal invaders at the airport. There should be a safe holding center far enough from population centers to make it less easy to escape. A criminal cannot go far in wilderness.
