Migrants crossing the Balkans will begin freezing to death as winter approaches, the head of European Union has said, as leaders warned the continent was "falling apart" trying to deal with the biggest humanitarian crisis since the Second World War.
As leaders of eastern European countries turned on each other at a foul-tempered emergency summit in Brussels, they said the Schengen visa-free zone and even the European Union itself could be pulled apart as states threw up borders to halt the influx.
Jean-Claude Juncker, the president of the European Commission, said a solution was urgently needed or thousands of refugee families facing winter temperature on the hillsides and freezing river-banks of Eastern Europe, would die.
"Every day counts," he said. "Otherwise we will soon see families in cold rivers in the Balkans perish miserably."

First off, THEY aren’t “refugees”. They are an invading Muslim army. DEAL WITH IT.

I can’t see a downside either, all I can say is that it is rough all over and it will get a lots worse.

Traveling north hoping someone will keep you from freezing to death is not a reasonable plan.

Since they seem to like playing with matches, you don’t dare give them anything else to burn down.

Families? I heard it was mostly single men.
