One of the messages the EU heads of state and government are expected to deliver at their extraordinary summit today (23 April) is that the Union cannot absorb any more mass arrivals of migrants, as they risk undermining it economically, and destroying it politically.
The meeting will take place today at 1600, following public outrage after 900 migrants died on Sunday, when their boat sank on its way to Europe from Libya.
Diplomats said that the summit will come up with four main messages. The first is that the EU is ready to save lives. Indeed, leaders are likely to agree on doubling the cash and equipment available to two Union border patrol missions in the Mediterranean, a senior diplomat said.
The second message is to traffickers, with EU leaders making it clear that “their business model would be destroyed”. It is expected that the the summit will authorise EU foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini to immediately begin preparations for a possible security and defence policy operation against human traffickers in Libya.
The third message will be for migrants, whom the EU will try to discourage from coming to Europe. “Europe has its limits, the individual member states, the individual societies have their limits,” a diplomat said, adding that further arrivals of migrants are unsustainable economically and risk destroying the EU.
The diplomat explained that discouraging migrants is “extremely sensitive” politically, that it is a “a challenge to present it”, and that its substance was that Europe is not ready to receive any more mass influxes of refugees, because then everyone who wants to have a better life will come to Europe. “This would destroy Europe at the end,” he said.
He added that those who qualify should benefit from the EU’s asylum policy, should they not abuse the system, and that prospective “economic migrants” should be kept at a distance.
He said that these issues were discussed at yesterday’s EU-Africa summit, adding that if the Union is giving these countries huge amounts of development money, efforts are also expected from them to cooperate in this area.
The fourth message is an internal one: that more solidarity between member states was needed in terms of burden-sharing, though it is not actually expected.
Sounds Racist to me. When is Eric Holder going to investigate.
/sarc if you don't get it.
So perhaps the next time you talk about ousting a thug dictator you don’t happen to like (Gadaffi), maybe you’ll think twice before going through with it. I’ve never understood the rationale for ousting him. Heck, at least he provided entertainment relief when he would show up in New York for UN meetings with all his tents and hot escorts...
Hillary Clinton: We came, we saw, we killed.
Ooops, did I do that???
Here in the US, we call this kind of talk RACIST!
LOL!
The USA needs to make the same declaration!!!
Somebody change the plaque on the Statue of Liberty.
We don’t need any more refuse.
Mullah Baraq will send a cruise ship to pick them up.
If migrations is not “the answer”.. to URP’s problems..
Maybe deportation is...
Yeah, it is a Captain Obvious statement. But our ruling class still haven't figured out that the same thing applies to the United States.
What they ought to do is send troops to carve out a section of North Africa, settle the refugees there and, in time, turn it into a semi-functional second world state and give it independence, sort of like the United States did with the Philippines.
And we should do the same thing in northern Mexico.
Countries which supply most of the refugees can also provide the locations for this type of benevolent colonization. It is only fair since they are sending people to colonize us.
Keep them out of Europe and the USA. All they want to do is rape, maim, kill and blow up things.
Why not?
America has to take in millions more each year from Mexico.
What makes Europe special?
I guess their Socialists don’t need more illegal votes, the way ours do.
Thanks Hillary!
That’s okay, Obama will take ‘em all.
He’ll plant ‘em in red states and register them to vote.
There are only so many rapes and crimes “immigrants” can commit. Who will carry on the fine legacy of criminality that is coming in to Europe??? Muslim Africans, raping the women that Swedes won’t rape.
