    I’ll say it again, the globalist Eu are out of touch with common citizens and are still pushing for open borders based on 75 year old UN statutes. The growing right flank has been ignored successfully for decades but will soon be too big to isolate. That’s when we follow the US example and see actual strongmen come to power (instead of being marginalized). Soon…

      still pushing for open borders

      Have you recently tried to cross a border in Europe? I feel like you are out of touch with common reality.

      The growing right flank has been ignored successfully

      Yep, they were so successfully ignored, that their positions from a few years ago are mainstream positions now and get implemented all across the Union. Such ignore, much wow.

      Shut the fuck up. I don’t want to live in a Europe without open borders. I’m already fucking annoyed that I have to go through border controls when entering and coming back from Denmark. It’s fucking bullshit. Borders will not stop refugees, even if they were the problem. Fuck you for trying to appease the brainwashed masses, you fucking dick. Trying to take away my freedom, you dumb asshole.

        Looks like you might have been frustrated in a traffic jam at the border? I looked up what the border checks effect has been, in this article from February: “Since the reintroduction of border controls in September 2024, Germany has detected around 80,000 irregular entries. Additionally, over 1,900 people smugglers were arrested, and nearly 47,000 individuals were denied entry due to invalid travel documents.”

          You’re citing the wrong numbers, because those 80,000 detected have nothing to do with the introduction of the new border controls.

          Irregular migration to Germany is currently continuing to decline. Federal Police figures show that while almost 130,000 illegal entries were recorded in 2023, the number FELL to just over 80,000 in 2024—a decrease of more than a third. The downward trend has continued so far this year. Projected to the full year of 2025, the figures would fall to the lowest level since 2021.

          This decline is NOT due to border controls. It roots in different situations in the countries the people come from.

          What border controls in Germany really did:

          Within the first seven days of the new controls, the federal police turned back 739 people at the border. In the second week, there were 1,676 rejections, including 123 asylum applications, of which 87 were rejected. This is according to figures from the Federal Ministry of the Interior.

          Even with increased border controls, only a fraction of migration movements are recorded. While “numbers are produced,” the border survey is both opaque and selective, and therefore of limited significance.

          Border controls cost much, but are widely ineffective. Because most illegals don’t use the few main border crossings that can be controlled.

      How will countries address the declining population of Europe, and climate change which disproportionately affects much of the world’s lower income population and drives migration because of decreased land productivity and economic activity?
