French President Emmanuel Macron said on Friday that his country does not support the creation of so-called "return hubs" for migrants in third countries, questioning their efficacy, though adding that he respected countries that want to set up such hubs.
"We are in favour of a more effective return policy, but ... I have never seen a return centre in a third country that actually works," Macron said, speaking in Brussels as a two-day EU summit concluded.

Apparently rapes by migrants align with European values.
What else to do with migrants whom their own country does not want?
Send them to Versailles, all of them.
,,, therin lies Europe's problem - one of it's main leaders who's not sure. The EU is steered by this sort of leadership. Macron is lacking drive, wisdom and any obvious care for the destiny of France's valid population. Hubs may be effective - other EU opinions aren't on the same page as Macron after two days of talking. It's time for new leadership in France and there's been capable contenders for a while.
