Schengen is great for tourists... and terrorists.
Another example in a long list of “why we can’t have nice things.”
It's great for real Europeans. The young people in Europe don't want to go back to barriers...among Europeans.
The problem is that the EU as constituted is a Hate group targeting Europeans by trying to flood European countries with aliens from the Middle East primarily.
This is to break down traditional European opposition to being ruled by foreigners, which in Europe means the guys who live one ridge over...for the last 5000 years.
Like you said..."why we can't have nice things". Because the EU bureaucrats are a bunch of screaming insane far-left freaks.
But British kids still want to holiday in Madrid, without a bunch of barriers.
