Merkel’s migration insanity nonetheless haunts the EU – thank God for Brexit | Politics | News | EUROtoday

Thank God we left the EU must be the cry after information of the immigration chaos set to be unleashed courtesy of Spain. Spain’s prime minister Pedro Sanchez has successfully granted a path to residency for 500,000 unlawful migrants in his nation. While traditionally most unlawful immigrants in Spain got here from Latin America, a rising quantity are from North and Sub-Saharan Africa. Many trafficked by way of the Canary Islands.

The Spanish PM did not even trouble going via the Spanish parliament. No, he simply issued a royal decree to push via his mad plan. (Careful – he’ll give Sir Keir Starmer concepts!) Anyway, unlawful immigrants who can show they lived in Spain for at the very least 5 months – and arrived earlier than the tip of 2025 – will probably be on a path to residency. Strict standards then!

Oh, and though the Spanish authorities anticipates half one million, there are over 800,000 potential candidates. Step proper up! Even earlier than this loopy plan was introduced, the Spanish authorities had deliberate to regularise 300,000 unlawful migrants per 12 months. Hey, who wants borders anyway?

Two issues. Firstly, does this not reward criminality and other people trafficking, which by the way is as huge an issue for Spain and her territories as it’s for Britain with unlawful migrants crossing the English Channel? Secondly, and crucially, what a kick within the tooth to the EU! Lest we overlook, as soon as granted residency, new Spanish residents can have full rights to work and dwell throughout the bloc.

Thank God we left! Yes, now we have our personal moronic politics creating unlawful immigration chaos. But, on the very least, we do not have to compound that with Merkel 2.0 madness coming throughout from the sclerotic EU.

Mark my phrases, a hefty chunk of those migrants would have ended up on our shores. You can guess an enormous quantity will present up quickly in welfare-rich France and Germany. This is similar EU which Labour and the Greens need Britain to rejoin via stealth? I would not put it previous Sir Keir to rejoin the EU’s free motion space in time for these new EU residents to return on over! Maybe he’ll supply a pathway by way of Gibraltar. You by no means know.

This in fact is why we’d like a authorities which believes in Brexit, and can keep on with each its letter and its spirit. Look at this second serving to of the Merkel insanity, which might solely egg on but extra unlawful immigration.
