LONDON — The continued flow of people along Europe’s migration trail, from Turkey and Greece to the Balkans to Scandinavia, faced new impediments on Monday as two of the northernmost destinations further tightened border controls in response to political, economic and logistical pressures.

Sweden, once one of the most welcoming of nations for refugees, introduced new identity checks on Monday for travelers arriving from Denmark.

A little slow on slamming the gate shut there, but better late than never.

Coming soon to Copenhagen and Stockholm - an extension of the Sunni-Shi’ite struggle going on elsewhere throughout the world where these two competing and mutual opponents of anybody else’s freedom anywhere have come into contact with each other.

Two competing but actually quite similar ideologies. Like International Socialism meeting up with National Socialism. No matter who wins, everybody else loses, and there is a lot of collateral damage in the process.

“generous welfare state” + “welcoming attitude” (ie, open borders) = national suicide

What uncaring, mean-spirited racists! Open those borders..let the love flow in!!!!! Having a sovereign country is so restrictive and unloving. Embrace the raping and pillaging invaders who bring you love.

They have been replaced by the EU NWO/UN. The EU is only a piece. Weren't there talks about a N. American Union of some such (Canada, US, Mexico)....Much easier to merge into the whole as we're seeing in Europe today

Well,
A long time unique society has been degraded to the point of savagery.
