[quote]Europe is embroiled in a worsening feud over how to cope with mass migration across the Mediterranean from Libya, with Italy threatening to issue migrants with temporary visas that would allow them to enter other EU countries if no equitable deal is struck to share the burden.Brussels is struggling to effect a new quota system for migrants, and EU interior ministers are due to meet in Luxembourg on Tuesday to try to hammer out a response to controversial proposals from the European Commission that amount to the beginnings of a coherent and shared immigration policy. With tens of thousands of migrants crossing the Mediterranean, most of them heading for Italy, Rome appears outraged at the European infighting and is threatening to retaliate. East European states reject the commission’s proposals, Britain and Denmark are opting out; Germany supports them; France, Spain and Portugal are lukewarm; and Italy is furious that it may be left to deal with the influx on its southern shores. The Italian prime minister, Matteo Renzi, said that if no equitable deal is struck to share the burden, Rome would start issuing migrants with temporary visas allowing them to travel elsewhere in Europe, stop receiving the hundreds of boats arriving from Libya and refuse docking for foreign ships rescuing those stranded at sea. Austria and Hungary are threatening to close their borders to migrants, and France and Switzerland are refusing them entry from Italy. Police are patrolling international rail traffic, flouting the passport-free travel rules governing Europe’s Schengen area. “It’s not looking good,” an EU official said on Monday ahead of the interior ministers’ session.[/quote] [URL="http://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jun/15/italy-threatens-to-give-schengen-visas-to-migrants-as-eu-dispute-deepens"]Source[/URL]

That would be... interesting on an international level. Countries which aren't even in the EU are still part of the Schengen area.

Multiply that by 2 for people under 25 in these countries. [url]http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/Unemployment_statistics[/url]

[QUOTE=Arrows;47974822]Your right, they are all still in Calais waiting for a lorry driver to put his guard down so they can hop in the back.[/QUOTE] They seem to be coming in via the Netherlands now, I am guessing Calais is either full or they have put some fences up.
if you think of coming over to britain, we have trebuchets set up just to send you back you're banned from being british if you don't look exactly like al murray, as god intended englishmen to look like
As an Italian, i personally think it's fair and i'm tired of seeing other countries playing the blame game instead of helping us.
I love how the Czech public and politicians are FLIPPING THEIR SHIT over the ECONOMY and SOCIETY ruining INFLUX OF MUSLIM IMMIGRANTS to the Czech lands that about to hit us like the locust swarm and turn is into an inhospitable wasteland at best, an Islamic religious state at worst. Meanwhile all the analytists are like "naah, the ones who don't care where they end up will stick further south/east and the ones who care where they gonna end up will continue further north/west, nearly none of them want to come here.
