The EU is imploding, not only due to its welcome of the hijrah but also because of government confusion and instability over the Muslim migrant issue. Weeks ago, EU president Jean-Claude Juncker made an unusual about-face about open-door immigration by backing an EU decision for a 10,000-strong armed border force that will lead a crackdown on illegal immigration.
Now: European Commissioner for migration Dimitris Avramopoulos has pledged to the United Nations that the European Union is working to “enhance legal pathways” to mass migration, with the Hungarian government condemning the commissioner for calling on member states to accept resettled migrants.
The aim is to “institutionalize mass migration at an international level” to facilitate the Global Compact For Migration, which the U.S. backed away from last year, noting that it undermines a nation’s sovereignty. Avramopoulos asserted that mass migration cannot be stopped, and dismissed the rise of so-called “populist” leaders — those leaders who aim to protect their national security and the freedom of their societies. For example, the Visegrad group (Hungary, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia), Austria, and Italy have resisted mass migration due to the chaos evident in open-border countries such as Sweden, Germany and France.
Although Avramopoulos discussed his aim to reduce “‘irregular’, otherwise known as illegal, immigration,” reports have frequently circulated that European countries have lost track of their migrants — among whom are Islamic State jihadis — and are at a loss of what to do about it.
Hungarian leader Viktor Orban has warned that “plans by the EU to put Brussels in charge of national border protection and asylum policy would mean handing the ‘keys to the gate’ of Europe to open borders eurocrats.”
“EU Chief Backs Proposed U.N. Compact, Will ‘Enhance Legal Pathways’ for Mass Migration to Europe,” by Victoria Friedman, Breitbart, September 27, 2018:
“European Commissioner for migration Dimitris Avramopoulos has pledged to the United Nations that the European Union is working to “enhance legal pathways” to mass migration, with the Hungarian government condemning the commissioner for calling on member states to accept resettled migrants.Commissioner Avramopoulos told the United Nations General Assembly on the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration Wednesday that the European Union (EU) is developing immigration systems to comply with UN’s proposed controversial Global Compact for Migration which aims to institutionalise mass migration at an international level.“The European Union has made significant progress in developing all the building blocks of a comprehensive migration policy that are contributing to achieve many of the objectives for safe, orderly and regular migration,” he confirmed.Acknowledging that illegal mass migration “remains a divisive topic across the globe”, Mr Avramopoulos denied that it could be stopped, telling delegates: “The reality, however, is that migration and human mobility are part of our history and are here to stay.”“We have made a clear call to our Member States to enhance legal pathways to Europe,” he added, saying that it was “essential” to create “a better management of labour migration” in addition to reducing “irregular”, otherwise known as illegal, immigration.The Brussels commissioner is also said to have urged EU members to honour their pledges to accept resettled migrants, with Hungarian foreign minister Péter Szijjártó later telling press: “Neither Hungary, nor the other countries of the Visegrád Group, nor any other European country wants to legalise illegal immigration.”Calling it “unacceptable and outrageous” that Mr Avramopoulos spoke on behalf of the whole EU, despite “many countries” not wanting “resettlement programmes”, Mr. Szijjártó emphasised: “This is why we did not and accept and will not be accepting the UN Global Compact for Migration.”
