That Explains It! A Good Number of Those Arab Refugees

Denmark announces decision to reintroduce border controls ahead of Schengen meeting

…”Over the past few years we have seen an increase in trans-border crime, and this is designed to curb the problem. We will be building new facilities at the Danish-German border, with new electronic equipment and number-plate identifiers,” he said.

…Passport-free travel across the ‘Schengen’ area, which does not include Britain or Ireland, has come under unprecedented pressure after Italy gave residence permits to more than 25,000 Arabs last month, allowing them unfettered access to the rest of the EU.

The European Commission was last week forced to propose the reintroduction of temporary passport controls as “under very exception circumstances” after a conflict between France and Italy threatened to destroy the border-free zone.

France, the most likely destination of the mainly French-speaking Tunisian immigrants, prompted the row by temporarily closing a key railway frontier with Italy and introduced tough extra checks of immigrants’ papers.

Man, those French are something else. Lecture away, my vastly superior E(not-for-much-longer)U friends.

    The Euroweenies will soon be the Eurodhimmies. Openly so, at any rate.

    The French get it. Really they do. They just won’t admit in public. They like US bashing too much. I suggest we do as the English, and start mentioning frogs and other hoppy swamp dwellers. (It’s an old and cherished tradition, the English VS the French; but you’ll note the French aren’t restricting the English from coming to visit.)

    They do know who the enemy is – it’s just that, like the English, they’d rather diss their friends.
