A top European security official on Thursday expressed skepticism about President-elect Donald Trump’s idea of building a wall to prevent illegal migrants from coming to the United States from Mexico.
Fabrice Leggeri, executive director of Frontex, the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, told reporters that building physical barriers does not solve the underlying problems that are causing migration: poverty and conflict.
“This doesn’t address the root cause of this phenomenon,” Leggeri said, adding that some European Union member states have erected fences between them.

European Border and Coast Guard Agency ,LOL, good one and a million plus Muslims just walked in
Another worthless piece of Eurotrash trying to tell Americans what we can and can’t do for decades.
Yea You guys are doing a bang up job over there now STFU.
Poverty and conflict is not in the USA and we want to keep it that way. Anyhow, all we are is a nation of evil racists so why would anyone want to come here anyway?

I like the way you think.
The French have already surrendered to the muslims, it’s all they know how to do.
your freepername means we’ll get along well ;)
Well, Mr. Fabrice Leggeri...
From looking at what has happened in France, Germany and Belgium, your expert security hasn’t been very expert, would you say????
Maybe you better take of business there before you make any recommendations here...
If Trump shows them how it can be done then they’re out of excuses for their own ‘immigrant’ mess.
The wall worked; the Germans just went around it, through another country.
