Earlier in June, the European Union appeared to finally react to concerns raised by President Donald Trump and many European voters over illegal immigration by introducing tougher border entry rules for the 27-nation bloc.
The EU agreed on new, stricter rules regarding migration and asylum. The laws are specifically designed to ensure that illegal/undocumented migrants who enter the bloc are processed and, where necessary, quickly sent to deportation centers in countries outside the EU.
People seeking asylum will be screened for identity, security, and their health before even entering any asylum system. The border officials will now track and record non-EU citizens entering and exiting the bloc. Plus, it will use biometric data such as fingerprints and facial recognition. And all member states must now help one another and share information.
The Associated Press reported that the provisional deal struck by the EU’s three main institutions is expected to go to EU lawmakers and governments, where approval is expected.
EUROPEAN NATIONS DEMAND POWER TO DEPORT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WHO COMMIT CRIMES
Alan Mendoza, founder and executive director of the Henry Jackson Society, told Fox News Digital that “The EU’s demography is changing Europe’s culture. We are now having to deal with people who are not integrating with the local customs.”
While the U.K. is not part of the EU, he said, “Britain’s efforts are behind the new EU rules.” Noting the country has “not managed to have offshore migrant holding centers, which would make sure Britain is not seen as a soft touch.”
Other experts say the longer countries take to fix the problem, the harder it will be to deal with. Some say it’s already too late.
While Europe’s workaday men and women have clearly seen the problems of illegal immigration for years, their leaders are only just getting the message.
President Donald Trump told world leaders about the damage caused by a flood of undocumented migrants into Europe during his speech to the United Nations General Assembly last year. “You’re destroying your countries,” he said. “Europe is in serious trouble; they’ve been invaded by a force of illegal aliens like nobody’s ever seen before.”
JD VANCE’S WARNING ON EUROPE’S FUTURE SHINES SPOTLIGHT ON CONTINENT’S GROWING LIST OF PROBLEMS
Just last week, Vice President JD Vance commented on the stabbing death of the 18-year-old British man who was stabbed to death.
In part, Vance posted, “Henry Nowak died the same way a civilization dies: abandoned, handcuffed by authorities who neither trusted nor cared for him, and accused of hate crimes he did not commit. His murder is as tragic as it is enraging. He should still be alive today, and he would be if the last few generations of European elites had stood their ground against the politics of self-hatred and the mass invasion of migrants, many of whom despise the West and the people who love it.”
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth also made reference to the topic during a speech to commemorate D-Day in France on the weekend. “Sadly, today, different European beaches are stormed by different dangerous ideologies. Beaches in Spain and Italy and Greece and Bulgaria, boats and men arrive. When will European capitals do something about that invasion? Or is it too late? I pray not, and I believe not,” he said.
Elsewhere in the EU, Spain seems to have broken with the rest of the bloc on its new stance on undocumented immigration. The country decided to legalize half a million undocumented migrants.
“When undocumented migrants arrive, they get papers, and they get social security,” Javier Negre, owner of the La Derecha Diario newspaper, told Fox News Digital. He says a lot of the push to house migrants has come via nongovernmental organizations. “NGOs had a big business, and they promoted illegal immigration,” he says.
Another problem is that many undocumented migrants don’t choose to integrate into their new domicile. “They don’t have the same values,” Negre said. “We import a lot of people, and some realize they can steal iPhones and wallets,” he said, commenting on the rise in crimes.
Critics of the move mostly came from the European left and NGOs. Mélissa Camara, from the French Green party, said the deal was “a historic setback” for human rights in the bloc,” the Associated Press reported.
“The legalization of return hubs outside the European Union, the green light for the detention of minors, home visits inspired by ICE practices: the legal arsenal serving a xenophobic ideology is now complete,” she said.
