Even EU officials are now finally admitting that a lot – or, rather, most – of the people we have been calling ‘refugees’ are not refugees. They are economic migrants with no more right to be called European citizens than anybody else in the world. Even Frans Timmermans, Vice President of the European Commission, made this point this week. In his accounting, at least 60pc of the people who are here are economic migrants who should not be here – are from North African states such as Morocco and Tunisia. As he told Dutch television:- Swedish officials are coming to a similar conclusion, saying that as many as 80,000 of the mainly young men who have gone to Sweden as ‘refugees’ in the past year alone are no such thing.

Maybe when they finally start referring to them as invaders, maybe then things will start turning around.

Next they’ll figure out the “refugee” “children” are actually adults.

Funny how they happily let the barn fill up, then close the door part way and say “where the hell did they come from?”

Stupid idiots - all they have to do is magic thinking, and voila, all of them are refugees.

Today's NSS ( NO Sh** Sherlock ) Award goes to unnamed EU "officials" who heads are in very dank, dark places. Congrats!

These people are no longer our allies.
As long as the US keeps contributing to NATO and EU’s so-called “security,” we are complicit in the willful self-destruction of European culture by their post-modern, progressive proto-fascist leaders.
