Promise them anything, Fred, and deliver NOTHING. That’s the EU governments’ modus operandi.

okay...so how are they going to deport the 899,000 out of 900,000 that don’t want to go back? Are they going to have some sort of immigration and customs enforcement task force that picks them up in the street? You know, as they “take their kids to daycare”?
