European Union Holds Summit As EIGHT MILLION Refugees Head Toward Their Borders

The EU Chief stated:

There are eight million displaced people in Syria, while about four million have fled to Syria’s neighbours. We should be talking about millions of potential refugees trying to reach Europe from Syria alone. Not to mention Iraq, Afghanistan, Eritrea and other places.” He said.

So far, only about two per cent of Syria’s refugees have made it to Europe. That figure is likely to rise significantly following Germany’s recent announcement that all Syrians who make it to her borders will be allowed to stay.

Tusk recounted: “Recently I visited refugee camps in Turkey and Jordan and I heard only one message: we are determined to get to Europe. It is clear that the greatest tide of refugees and migrants is yet to come.

“Therefore we need to correct the policy of open doors and windows. Now the focus should be on the proper protection of our external borders and on external assistance to refugees and the countries in our neighbourhood.”

The EU Chief had little success with his rhetoric, of taking a more physical stance along the borders-of shutting the borders up.  What the other heads of states did agree to was additional funds to be sent to set up “hotspots”-which would to identify, register and fingerprint migrants, allowing the migrant to either be relocated or returned. Germamy’s Chancellor Angela Merkel said Germany would not turn anyone away.  This upset other EU members who took that to possibly have those enter through Germany and end up traveling to their countries.

As many as 350,000 migrants have registered for asylum in Europe since January 2015, according to the International Organisation for Migration. Germany is seeing an influx of migrants at the rate of 100 per hour, according to the Telegraph.

While it seems there is no right answer to this crisis, the EU is in deep trouble as eight million fight their way toward their borders.  America has contributed the most funds in aid.
