Athens Given Deadline as EU Looks to Send More Refugees Back to Greece
The Guardian ^ | 2/10 | Jennifer Rankin

EU authorities want to reintroduce Greece to ‘Dublin system’, which lets governments send asylum seekers back to the first country they arrived in

European Union authorities have given Athens one month to improve conditions for asylum seekers in the hope of eventually sending more refugees back to Greece.

The plan to overhaul Greece’s migration and asylum system is part of the EU’s effort to get to grips with the biggest refugee crisis since the second world war, amid apocalyptic warnings that the union is falling apart.

The European commission issued Athens with a list of instructions on Wednesday to bring Greece into line with EU norms on refugee policy, including improving living conditions for asylum seekers and overhauling judicial procedures so people denied leave to remain have the right to appeal. Reception centres must ensure adequate staffing, so Greek authorities can deal with more asylum cases, the commission said.

Greece is under huge pressure to stem the flow of refugees and migrants from Turkey, amid scepticism from other member states that it is able to police its maritime border, the longest in the EU. There has even been suggestion from some member states that it could be kicked out, at least temporarily, of the 26-country Schengen area.

I hope people realize that 0dunga COULD HAVE stopped this crisis, BUT THE EXPANSION OF THE MUSLIM CALIPHATE INTO EUROPE AND THE U.S. IS HIS GOAL ON BEHALF OF THE NWO CABAL (CONTROLLED MOSTLY BY MUSLIM COUNTRIES).

Remember those early ISIS convoys 0dunga did NOTHING about?

Does 0dunga ever talk about a 'safe zone' in Syria? NO.

Would anyone in their right mind IMPORT Syrian refugees into the United States, KNOWING THERE ARE ISIS OPERATIVES AMONG THEM?? Did O-SH*T-HEAD ODUNGA LEARN ANYTHING FROM WHAT HAPPENED IN PARIS?

FLOODING EVERY CORNER OF THE WORLD WITH MOSQUES IS AGENT-OF-ISLAM ODUNGAS SECRET AGENDA.

WAKE THE EFF-UP, AMERICA.

Oh yeah and I failed to mention his QUICK SURRENDER IN IRAQ AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL BOMBING OF LIBYA. Both done to clear a path for ISIS and their so-called 'refugees'.

WHO is on the way to controlling Libya now? ISIS!!!

Think this isn't ALL BY DESIGN, PEOPLE?

The problem is right there in print. “EU ordered Greece to...” As long as nations like Greece take orders from Brussels bureaucraps, they’re doomed. (Ps: the Islamic invaders need to be sent home to their own krapistans, not dumped on Greece!)

Hah hah! The Europeans say “You wrecked our utopia with your stupid economic policies, now you get austerity AND you have to take all the refugees too!”

1. Lots of jobs for Greeks policing the “migrants,” paid for by tax dollars from the rest of Europe.
2. Greek economic crisis solved!
