BTW my dissertation many years ago was on the EU. The EU was started as an economic collaboration which,when it kept the member states separate, was very successful. The origins of the EU didn’t mean that there was no border control. That is much different from the integrated government that they tried to impose, but failed. LOL Even Chirac’s own people rejected it.
Integrated government wouldn’t even be on the table in this side of the world.
Not that this makes you feel any better,but if the pressure is up to the south of our borders to allow free trade and allow regular citizens to have control over their own financial destinies, fewer people will flee.
