Europe CANNOT take any more migrants, says French PM... who has a veiled shot at Merkel...

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!'

“Is mass immigration the solution to 20% Eurozone unemployment? Insanity!?!”

Agreed. It's much worse than most in the US are likely aware, and the fault falls primarily at the feet of the political class there (i.e., the same people shoving more immigration down the people's throats). Unemployment in Italy has recently improved, but youth unemployment there (to age of 24) is >40%, and a lot of the employed are working part-time. The Italian Parliament, however, has 945 elected members, for a country that is small enough to fit inside Alaska six times. Corruption and self-interest in the political class - a huge problem for Europe (and the US).
