Mama Merkel update: Nothing resolved in special EU
meeting yesterday, try again Thursday, by Ann Corcoran 6/25/18
Invasion of Europe news…..As we reported last week, a special EU meeting was called for
yesterday as the political pressure mounts on German Chancellor Angela Merkel
to do something to control the migrant population that continues to grow in
Germany. See Merkel between a rock and a hard place in age of ‘Aquarius.’
Besties French Prez Macron and
Merkel. Macron in la-la land: “We are living through a
political crisis more than a migratory crisis today.”
I’m
struck here by the similarity to our situation on the Mexican border where
Donald Trump is both trying to stem the flow in to the US, and attempting to kill the catch and release
policy of previous presidents (the major pull factor for those gambling on
entering the US).
The
answer is the same for Europe—stop the in-flow and hold for sorting all those
who have gotten in by building detention centers. Sort out legitimate asylum
seekers from economic migrants who can be quickly deported. Don’t let them roam free across Europe!
From
the CT Post:
European leaders met Sunday in Brussels to discuss the contentious issue of
migration, which is threatening to topple German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s
government, but they appeared to be far from coming to a common agreement on
how to redistribute the burden among themselves.
Merkel has been badly weakened in recent weeks by an anti-migration
rebellion inside her own conservative coalition, making her more vulnerable
than at any other point in her 13-year leadership. And Italy’s new government has
unveiled a sweeping set of anti-immigration proposals that would more quickly
send migrants back out of Europe.
Even
though new arrivals have dropped, the political consequences of migration
pressures are still reverberating around Europe. Merkel is seeking a way to redistribute
already-arrived migrants across the continent. Italy, a front-line state to
asylum seekers and migrants coming from northern Africa, is more focused on the
initial arrivals and on avoiding what it says is an unfair burden that has
been placed on it by countries to its north.
Although no formal agreements were reached Sunday, ahead of a full
summit on Thursday, the toughened attitudes toward migrants were on stark
display. At stake
could be the European Union’s prized borderless movement in the area known as
the Schengen zone, which is the foundation for many other aspects of European
integration.
Looks
like detention centers is a major consideration, the question is where to
establish those camps. One proposal from European Council President Donald Tusk
is to find spots outside Europe to sort economic migrants from people with
legitimate asylum claims. Another from French President Emmanuel Macron is to
establish closed camps inside Europe where migrants could await the outcome of
their claims.
They
must do both, and so must we: stop the in-flow as Italy says and detain everyone else (who got in in
previous years) for sorting.
(By
the way there is talk of camps in North Africa to be used for sorting and over
the weekend I read that they were considering Albania.)

It
is worth remembering! The top post in that archive is one about how
Hillary played a role in helping to expand the Libya-to-Europe invasion route
by killing Gaddafi and destabilizing Libya.
