The irrational leaders of the EU fought long and hard to defend their reckless open-door immigration policies, even calling countries such as Hungary, which opposed those policies, “undemocratic.” Smears including “anti-immigrant,” “racist” and “Islamophobe” were also levied at anyone who protested against the invasion of mostly Muslim economic migrants who entered Europe illegally in droves. Now that open-door policies has proven (as everyone should have known) to be a failed experiment, as well as unsustainable, with Western countries in financial crisis and crime stats going through the roof, the EU is finally backpedaling.
Four months ago, Germany deported only 5 of 317 Muslims classified as “Islamist threats.” In 2017, the European Court actually stopped Germany from deporting a “dangerous” Muslim who said he was ready to commit a jihad massacre. How far the EU has come. “It’s time to deport more illegals” is the EU’s new chant.
Earlier this month, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak vowed to deport all illegal immigrants, although everyone knows that this most likely won’t happen.
The EU and the UK have no will to manage their own borders. Illegals continue to pour in. European leaders don’t want to be called racist and “Islamophobic.” Yet they are going so far as to state that “it’s time to deport more illegals.”
Meanwhile, Iran deported over a 1,000,000 Afghan migrants in 2021, including 28,000 in a single week.
“EU urges members to deport more migrants ineligible to stay,” Associated Press, March 14, 2023:
The European Union on Tuesday urged its member countries to deport more people who enter Europe without authorization and who are not eligible to stay, saying that only around one in five would-be migrants who should be sent home actually is.
“Last year, we had a return rate of only 21% of those who are not eligible to stay,” EU Home Affairs Commissioner Ylva Johansson told reporters at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France. “When we fail to return people, this hampers our system and erodes trust.”
Johansson said that 340,000 decisions were handed down in EU member nations last year to deport people, but that only in 60% of cases did European authorities try to contact the migrants’ home countries to get them accepted back in.
“To protect the right to apply for asylum we have to show that we are appropriately dealing with those who do not qualify for international protection,” she said. “We need migration, but it has to be in a legal and orderly way.”…
Johansson said the EU’s border and coastguard agency “is well equipped” to organize deportation flights, and urged the bloc’s 27 member countries to take advantage of them.
“We have a good political agreement with Bangladesh,” the EU’s top migration official noted. She said a Frontex flight would depart for Bangladesh on Wednesday with 68 “returnees” aboard. “This is the way we should work together,” Johansson said.
