More drum beating on the Common Immigration Policy.
FT.com / Brussels - Malta seeks EU action over immigrants
This time current EU commissioner for justice Jacques Barrot is asking EU member states states to show “solidarity with the most exposed states” and accept "asylum seekers" who make it to Malta into their own borders (at this point they are under no obligation to do this but under the Common Immigration Policy they would).
So what numbers are we talking about? In 2008 there were 67,000 "asylum seekers" from Africa to the EU. 33,500 to Malta & Italy combined.
The question is under the proposals for an EU Common Immigration Policy how many of these economic migrants are going to wind up in Ireland, either as refugees or EU citizens? I doubt the EU will be able to tell you, or if they do have a figure its wildly underestimated. Something else im curious about is whether any of the EU elites really think distributing "asylum seekers" around the EU will lead to a manageable system? I think the opposite, as capacity to deal with grows so will the number being "trafficked" to EU shores.
The EU does not have a solution to the problem of mass immigration, it only has methods to make it worse.
