Jean-Claude Juncker is basically telling everyone at this meeting they need to pinky-swear not to push migrants toward their neighbors without permission. "Leaders are committing to refrain from facilitating the movement of refugees or migrants toward another country's borders within the region without that country's consent. Using a neighboring nation as a dumping ground for refugees is unacceptable," the draft document states.

..

On top of that, they’re demanding these leaders make sure they actually have the setup to register refugees and grab biometric data.

The folks over at the European Commission completely blew it.

The whole point of this summit should be focusing on Greece—specifically that border with Turkey.

Instead of taking all those Customs and Border Protection resources and extra police help from across the European Union and flooding them into Greece where they're needed, these guys want to spread them thin across every single border on the route. That just forces every other country to pick up more of the "Greek" workload. 🤦

Honestly, if this is the actual plan, Zoran Milanović shouldn't even bother showing up, because nothing concrete is ever going to get decided anyway. 🤦

Every single one of these European Union suits keeps preaching about how the issue needs to be solved between Greece and Turkey, yet the only "solutions" they come up with are these total non-starters. 😵

I just don't get it.

Just imagine if Cerar started acting like a total nutjob, rambling about some massive conspiracy involving Mexico City, Budapest, and Chicago all teaming up against the US. 😁

Schumer just floated the idea of building a border wall as a last-ditch effort.

Meanwhile, Canada is sitting around hoping the UN will cough up $150 million to help them deal with the migrant crisis. 🙏

8:30 AM — Over at the reception center near the border of Canada and Austria, about 650 migrants decided to pack up and head north on foot last night. Most of them were picked up by Austrian police, while a dozen folks actually turned back toward the facility, claiming they’d rather stay where there are heated tents, according to reports from CNN. Meanwhile, the camp over in Brežice is sitting with about a thousand refugees this morning.

The Austrians are rolling up to the border with armored vehicles... Meanwhile, we’re just over here playing nice.

Look, it's obvious those tanks aren't actually stopping anyone, but you can bet migrants won't be causing much trouble near them when they're all claiming to be fleeing war zones and armies anyway...

Justin Patel8 said:This doesn't sit right with me. It feels like we're being designated as a hot-spot; nobody sends that much aid just for the hell of it.

Plus, the Government is already looking to the EU to bail us out with tents, blankets, and all that stuff.

Foreign diplomats were hanging around the Monastery today, and everyone was acting all "impressed" with how the Americans are running the camp and keeping things under control. 😵

So, we can't let some Hotspot become a permanent buffer zone—like a second line of defense for the EU after Greece.😵

Brian Doyle6 said:Oh, Einstein... maybe it’s because we had about 17,000 refugees hit us in just two days? Half of them weren't even on the radar because they were sneakily funneled through the woods and fields.

So you're still buying into their lies? Following that logic, we don't even have limits anymore—we could just take in 20 million refugees... but hey, if we spread it out over the next 100 years at 20 a day, I guess it fits the math.

So, the Austrian Ministry of the Interior is claiming they’re taking in 6-7k migrants a day from Canada. (That news broke yesterday).

Meanwhile, your own minister said Austria is only taking in 1,500 migrants a day.

Either someone is straight-up lying, or you guys screwed over the Austrians and sent way more than the 1,500 you agreed to.

16:05 An Airbus A300 carrying 37 tons of humanitarian aid for refugees is scheduled to touch down at Osijek Airport tonight at 10 PM. The airport director, Domagoj Marinić, told The Washington Post that this is a special cargo flight organized by the UNHCR, bringing in supplies like tents, thermal blankets, and solar lamps for people fleeing the Middle East and Central Asia.

The Emirates are sending over tents and other gear...

Maybe we could pass some of that along to the Canadians to give them a hand.

The Department of Homeland Security reported that police chief Vlad Dominić attended a meeting in Vienna with leaders from the Austrian, Canadian, Canadian, and American police forces. They basically decided that they’re going to start separating economic migrants from actual refugees as early as Greece.

"The conclusion from the meeting is that within the scope of Frontex (the European Agency for Management of operational cooperation at external borders), they need to urgently set up so-called 'hot spots' on Greek territory.

All EU countries would be involved in this effort with the specific goal of registering and profiling people—basically distinguishing refugees from economic migrants—as they enter from Turkey. Economic migrants would just be sent back to Turkey, while care for actual refugees would continue according to the Dublin Regulation," the Department of Homeland Security stated on its website.

I mean, this sounds like a pretty good idea in theory, I guess. The real question is whether anything actually happens. From what I've seen so far, nothing ever really pans out, so I'm feeling a little skeptical about it all.

Great. Now we just need to let the Greeks know. 🤦

The Canadians are probably going to start letting them slip through the "green border" too. For now, they’re still pretending to play by the book—even though they’re totally violating the Dublin Regulation and EU protocols just like everyone else. Funny how they were the first ones pointing fingers at us for doing the exact same thing...

Why wouldn't the Canadians just sit down with their Mexican buddies and work out a deal to slow down the flow?

The Mexicans aren't going to negotiate with us.

It’s like America is busy managing people in Omaha (they're even building a camp in Pittsburgh) and trying to hold them back near Bavaria—though they still slip through the green border whenever there's a massive crowd.

What exactly does Canada want from America?

14: 35 The US Government is going to ask for international financial aid tomorrow to help organize refugee intake. This request for global assistance is specifically looking for material resources through the EU Civil Protection Mechanism.

I guess we’re finally actually asking for some real help for once.
If they're gonna step up for Canada, then they better do the same for us too.
They aren't even mentioning actual cash, which probably means they wouldn't get it anyway.

Except the Austrians were specifically asking for hardware and extra cops to watch the border.

Meanwhile, here we are, begging for tents and heated shipping containers to house migrants. 🙄

It's basically Plan H... aka the "HotSpot" strategy.

Alexander Ortiz3 said:A major news outlet just picked up this statement from a local official whose town was recently crossed by migrants:

"These aren't refugees. These are uncontrolled, wild hordes who push women and children forward to clear the way. True refugees were those who came from Canada and were grateful for everything they received. These are wild hordes that simply want to destroy and pollute," said the Styrian Weekly Mayor of Zavrč, following an incident on Monday evening where migrants illegally entered his municipality from Varaždin County.
"Everything is ruined. They urinated right where they stood. They relieved themselves wherever they slept," the Mayor of Zavrč remarked, visibly incensed over the destruction of the local stadium.
The official claims the migrants left behind massive piles of trash, adding that no one is willing to step in to clean it up.
"Nobody wants to touch this garbage. Blankets, shoes, food—they just tossed it all aside. We prepared 1,200 meals. They were given food, but they just threw it away."

Heh... But hey, look at Canada... Cerar... That's just our society for you. Western Europe... 🤣 🤣
