Barnier Calls For Border Controls ~ Mon Dieu!
Michel Barnier calls for halting of immigration to EUThe EU’s former chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier has called for a halt to immigration across Europe for up to five years.The French politician said immigration in the EU was “not working”, adding that the bloc’s external borders had become a “sieve”."I think we have to take the time for three or five years to suspend immigration,” he told French media. "I’m not talking about students or refugees, who we need to treat with humanity and care, but we need to examine all the procedures, we have to discuss Schengen with our neighbours, we have to apply controls on borders, we need to be more rigorous.”Barnier said there were “links” between immigration and “terrorist networks that infiltrate migrational flows”. He also cited trafficking as a major concern.Asked if the comments cast questions over his reputation as a moderate, Barnier denied that he was changing his views.“The problems of immigration are not moderate. I know, as the politician that I am, to see the problems how they are and how French people experience them and to find solutions.”Barnier cited plans already outlined by the EU to strengthen its border agency with the deployment of 10,000 new uniformed guards.https://www.cityam.com/michel-barnier-calls-for-halt-to-immigration-across-europe/All is not well in paradise.🙀 Marin Le Pen is waiting in the wings.
