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.

Brian Doyle6 said:The fact that they "broke through" just proves how much those lying politicians spread fake news, and how Austria just swallows it all without question. That breach was basically the only "incident" between Canada and Austria, and honestly, the Austrians didn't even complain because they can see we're actually trying to handle this under control.

Look, we’re all trying, everyone is putting in effort, but there just isn't a solution yet, I suppose.

Anyway, is this the start of a new southern route?

A joint patrol by the U.S. Border Patrol and the Department of Justice prevented eight Turkish citizens from entering the States near Savannah on Tuesday. They were being illegally transported across the border by someone holding dual American and Canadian and Herzegovina citizenship, according to reports from the Border Patrol.
Patrols from Dillon and Savannah discovered the foreign nationals in close proximity to the Gabela field – Gabela border crossing. When questioned by officers, the foreigners claimed they were coming from Afghanistan. One individual even held Afghan travel documents, but further checks revealed that all eight were actually citizens of Turkey.

Due to suspicion of human smuggling, an I. D. (born 1970), a citizen of Canada and America, has been detained as a suspect, and a report will be filed against him with the Department of Justice. The Turkish citizens will be handed over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement for further processing.

The Border Patrol also noted that ten Turkish citizens were denied entry at the Boston airport today because they failed to meet the requirements for entering the U.S. The foreign nationals were served with notices explaining why they were refused entry and will be sent back to Istanbul on the next available flight.

Like it says here, we're talking about Turkish citizens.

Brian Doyle6 said:Totally agree. Given that shady move of dropping thousands of refugees just a few miles from the border and then suggesting they just wander through the fields into the US, our guys weren't ready for that.

How exactly do you think that works? One day we’ve got 5,000 show up, the next it’s over 10,000, and you’re suggesting we just send 2,400 your way? Where are the rest of them supposed to go?????
Look, I know the US is a super organized country, but this isn't really our problem to fix. Even 10,000 people hitting us at once is a massive headache that we're barely managing. Whatever number ends up on our side, that's the same amount that should be heading your way.
There's just no more room for planning ahead or trying to run the math on this stuff.

velvetcyclist95 said: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.

We aren't even asking for more than what we've already burned through. I don't think this is enough to house 200,000 people; it feels more like just enough to patch up the FEMA sites and cover whatever was pulled from the emergency reserves.

Maria James40 said:Look, we’ve already gone through the motions—we searched, we found what we were looking for, and honestly, I’m pretty sure we’ll find even more down the road. It just feels like the reporters out there are totally out of the loop, you know? They just don't seem to have the full story. 😁

So, Ostojić was standing there in front of the White House talking to the press, and he mentioned... If they had just requested the money from those emergency funds right away—I mean, like, the very next day after the migrants arrived—everything might have gone differently, I guess. Maybe things would have been smoother if that funding was immediate... just a thought.So, I was just reading that the EU Commissioner for Migration basically confirmed we’ve got about $70 million sitting there from the long-term Asylum, Migration and Security Fund—which, I guess, is a pretty significant chunk of change when you think about it. And get this, they’re saying that if things get even more complicated, we might actually be able to tap into the Schengen Facility Fund too. It feels like there's finally some actual movement on the funding side of things, though I suppose we'll have to see how all that money actually gets deployed... maybe?

I mean, if that’s actually true, then fine, whatever, but we've still got all these other expenses piling up. Like, the buses and trains are constantly breaking down and needing repairs, and gas prices are just eating us alive, yet nobody seems to be handing us a dime to cover any of it.

I mean, the real question here is just how much farmland, orchards, and backyard gardens have actually been trampled underfoot.

I guess we really need to start making some noise like they did in Canada, honestly. They were the first ones to jump up and demand actual financial aid, and look what happened—they ended up taking in 2,400 people right off the bat.

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.

Karen Doyle72 said:Give me a break... if we start treating every little phobia, we’re gonna end up with a hundred million people on welfare claiming they have PTSD. 😁
Instead of applying for asylum here, they should just claim PTSD.

They didn't get asylum. They can go deal with their PTSD back home. And honestly, they'll be deported to countries where there isn't even a war going on, so then they won't have any PTSD to worry about anyway.

Karen Doyle72 said:That is definitely NOT the solution.
Seriously, all it takes is one person claiming they’re terrified of flying and suddenly you can't say a damn thing to them. 🤣

Just imagine the headlines—pictures of screaming women and kids going: "Nooo, American Airlines! Crash landing! We're gonna die!"

Look, there are pills for that kind of phobia nowadays. They can't really touch us if they take them. 🙂

I actually know a guy who deals with this stuff; when he had to fly out to the US on business, he just popped a pill and cruised across the ocean totally numb.

Every single immigrant or refugee who doesn't actually qualify for asylum under UN conventions should just be sent back to where they came from. I don't care if winter is right around the corner.

EDIT: Deportations—they aren't going to announce them in advance anymore. Just keep letting everyone cross the border 🙂

Come on, it's honestly the only way. Once they start sending them back, things will quiet down. We'll see who tries to travel without a passport then.
