The European Parliament on Wednesday approved more stringent migration measures that grant member states wider-ranging powers to deport failed asylum-seekers.

EU lawmakers approved the changes to EU policy with 418 in favor to 218 against and 30 abstentions.

The measures highlight the growth in anti-immigration sentiment across the EU, while also fuelling the rise of the far-right.

The West has let in enough people to cover 100 years of immigration ,LOL

They don’t mean it. They’re trying to briefly placate the public from their main agenda.

Head fake

Not really that good.
It will slow down or even reject some asylum seekers, but it is totally dependent on the courts. One corrupt judge and all goes to drain.
Moreover, it will force immigrants on countries who never wanted them!
Germany etc. wants to offload immigrants to other countries.
Now they can force the other countries to accept them!
Poland and other countries who successfully defended the immigrant wave will now have to take them or pay stiff fines!

It's called locking the barn door after the horses have escaped. Except this time they're locking the day after 10 million moslem savages have infiltrated.

Now that the horse has fled the barn and the damage is done, it’s like this was part of the plan all along. Oh those NWO bunch of criminals, they do think they are sly.

Burning barn, horses already gone.
