Ideas don't usually die
Posted: 26 Jan 2016, 17:55with a bang. Normally they die with a whimper.
Not long ago a Swedish girl of immigrant parentage was murdered in a centre for the care of underage immigrants who have no parents in country. This year the Swede’s closed the border with stringent border controls, slowing the flow of immigrants (illegal), from 10,000 per week to circa 800 per week.
Denmark, today, passed a law allowing the state to take valuables from the immigrants and using that wealth to support them until such time as they run out of money. Once they run out of money, then the state will support them.
The Dutch are talking about Schengen as a dead idea if they don’t resolve the immigrant crisis in 6 – 8 weeks, but, let’s face it, that crisis is not going away because the immigrants who are already in the Balkans, heading to the EU, have no clue how the promises of Merkel have turned to dust and how the EU states attitudes have hardened.
Again the spectre of expulsion from the Schengen Zone for Greece is being talked about, but also the total suspension of Schengen for 2 years. If they close Schengen for 2 years I can’t see it opening again for at least a decade. Everyone who needed to close it will want assurances that the periphery won’t fail again as it has in the last 2 years and that assurance can’t come without Frontex, literally, taking over all the external borders of the EU. The UK will veto that immediately, Frontex won’t get any foothold in the UK borders. Any party that handed over UK borders to EU control would be slaughtered in the polls.
The Schengen accord is lying in the dust moaning. Whether it is picked up, dusted off and bandaged up for another few rounds will be an interesting point to watch over the next few months. However, barring divine EU intervention, Schengen’s time is limited.
In many ways the best thing that could happen during the negotiations in Feb is that Cameron is told he must take a 200k quota of immigrants or they won’t sign up for his deal. Basically forcing all the illegals on the UK in one chunk before they let us get some more control back. That deal would fatally wound the “In” campaign like a knife in the heart.
I see no sudden implosion of the EU Schengen accord. I do, however, see a mewling, whimpering, slow death as the more liberal states attempt to protect themselves from rampant illegal immigration of people who want nothing more than a patch of land on which they can raise a new state in the place of the one they have lost.
