what are you talking about then, close the EU borders, scrap Schengen, etc?
I don't see what would be so bad about scrapping Schengen. Seems like massive downsides for very little gain.

and then next week a Dortmund hooligan kicks another woman in Berlin, close the state borders! then someone from Neukölln kicks a woman from Schöneberg...

how secure are you prepared to make it?
You and I clearly fall on different sides of the fence, and neither will convince the other.

I cant see any logic for taking in 1 million people from countries that have a significantly differently culture and belief system from your own, without knowing a single thing about any of them.

Million people from Syria etc. Quite clearly, letting them in provoked Bulgarian thug into overdrive.
Or you can just accept del mar's obsession with immigrants, shrug your shoulders and let him peruse internet in order to enrage himself and start yet another thread on PH.

OK, I've reread it twice

what do the child killers and rapists have to do with this story? Because the scumbag was born in another country/state/region/town, he's part of the barbaric horde at the gates of civilisation?

and I'm the one being hysterical

(and by the way, over 4 million EU migrants live in Germany)
The way i read it is that Del Mar said that you could be a child killer/rapist/not a very nice person and Germany is just letting people in without doing the necessary background checking and as such, might get up to no good in Germany, that could have otherwise been prevented had they undertaken the checks (bit like former 'war-criminals' from the baltic states hiding under different names in the EU following the end of the Kosovo War).

Now ive read it that as your an EU migrant, youve taken this personally and blown it out of proportion as you see it as an attack on your goodself and other law abiding migrants.

nah, he's just getting asylum seekers and EU citizens mixed up

the EU fits most of the definitions of being one country, we don't stop (former) criminals moving around within each state, so we've no justification for not letting them move around state to state

at the end of the day, it's nasty, but it's not a massive story, just that it was caught on CCTV

if it happened outside a Blackpool nightclub or on a football terrace, no-one would here give a st

Will there ever be a point where you reconsider? Speaking theoretically. Would there ever be a red line you wouldn't see crossed for the sake of shengan?

No, I don't think people from any one EU land are much more likely to be violent than another (highest stats in Europe is actually the UK) so I see no reason to block anyone

how small would you like your borders? would there be a point where you'd stop people crossing Welsh/English/Scots borders? County borders?

Reported that he failed to get asylum, but Tunisia refused to accept him back, so he couldn't go anywhere...

This is what I don't get, if the deportee is a citizen of X, then how can X refuse to take him back?

I think Tunisia may have said he wasn't a Tunisian citizen.

This is a big problem here in Sweden, countries refusing to take their (proven) citizens back after a failed asylum process, and I would bet the situation is the same in many other EU countries.

Oops, isn't that the same thing Pakistan does, it disowns its nationals, especially if they've destroyed the few documents they may have, which aren't dodgy in the first place.

So where does that leave the "receiving" nation state? Wishing it had the ability to stop illegal entry and controls to refuse them entry in the first place.

If only some of these countries behaved like, well like us, don't know how lucky we are, what with our modern western democracies with good, honest governance, and modern processes, and they did the right thing like us, and these people didn't use our system against us, or be facilitated by some our, and some of our European, one world lawyering class with their political agendas.

Execution is rather extreme, but a Napoleonic-style exile to a small, otherwise unpopulated island would be an appropriate response.
