Europe is stretched to it limits and cannot take in any more migrants, according to the French Prime Minister.
And in a veiled shot at German leader Angela Merkel, who said refugees were welcome in Europe, Manuel Valls said that it wasn't France that 'told them to come'.
Europe is grappling with its worst refugee crisis since the Second World War with almost one million refugees expected to arrive by the end of the year.
But in an interview with German newspaper Sueddeutsche Zeitung, Mr Valls said: 'We cannot accomodate any more refugees in Europe, that's not possible', adding that tighter external border controls would determine the fate of the EU.
'If we don't do that, the people will say "enough is enough", Valls warned.

Mr Valls avoided criticising Merkel directly for having suspended European asylum rules to allow in Syrian refugees stranded in Hungary but said France was taken by surprise by the German leader's decision.
He added: 'Germany has made an honourable choice there.
'But it was not France that said: Come!'

This sounds like a major issue for the EU?
It may be the beginning of the end for the EU or Merkel or both.
Is mass immigration the solution to 20% Eurozone unemployment? Insanity!?!
Come on Europe! Suck it up! The Kenyan is going to be attacking your “values” if you try to stop these Syrian Mayflower style pilgrims from taking over your country.
If I were European, I think I'd have had quite enough of her.
She reminds me of Obama in her imperial approach to politics.
Europe can no longer swallow the unwelcome long of Islam. About time.
That’s racist!!
Yep
Merkel needs to be dethroned and her bank accounts audited.
Who the hell appointed Merkel Fuhrer of the EU? They other countries need to rein her in.
Also, Greece is happily channeling them all right through as they land on Greek shores.
Almost like Greeks getting even with the Germans about something.
This is an interesting development. I thought I had read where the French were going to be taking in more refugees. Maybe a discussion with Putin has changed his mind.
Even Socialists can eventually wake up.
There is no doubt millions more Muslims will make significant contributions to your societies and cultures. That has been their pattern throughout the past 1400 years. They do good things, good works, promote peace and tranquility. They promote progress and decent values for all. They are simply wonderful folks to have in the neighborhood.
Don't worry.
Should have taken that position 50 years ago.
I vote for “both!”
Yeah, that little assault on Paris last week couldn't have had anything to do with it./s
I guess Monsieur Valls has not spoken to his own President Hollande, who has said France will STILL take in another 30,000 Muslim swine, despite 3 fake “refugees” participating in the Paris slaughter.
they closed borders immediately after the attack.
