Turkey has often been accused of having porous borders, with nearly all non-local ISIS members traveling through the NATO approved caliphate before entering the skirmish in Syria or Iraq. Due to this dubious track record, many are alarmed to hear that Turkey’s new maritime and military treaty with Libya places them responsible for a point of entrance over 1 million illegal immigrants attempt to use to enter Europe through southern Italy each year.
Feeling cut off from America over the conflict in Syria, excluded from Israel and Greece’s pipeline deal, and fighting off with the UAE, Russian, and Egypt in Libya, Turkey’s power-play gives the state much needed negotiation power.
We often discuss migration as a reaction to Western policies, such as in Syria, but a confidential internal security report from EU police and border agencies, leaked at the time, stated 900,000 illegal immigrants were entering the EU every year. Given population growth as well as regional instability, the number of entrance attempts has only increased in the last decade.
Look for dramatic actions in the upcoming weeks to take place in the East Med, as the EU will be unable to allow Erdogan to repeat Muammar Gaddafi’s famous threat to “turn Europe black” if Libya was not given $5 billion a year.
This is misleading. Turkey does not control immigration to other countries. Each country controls its own immigration and only has itself to blame for their stupid policies.
Send them back where they came from
It was already stated last year via CALIF. news that illegal aliens had started a forest fire……They want to destroy the USA, and it seems that Venezuela is no different………
Havoc, chaos, killing, raping, robbings has been a plus for those illegal killing aliens……..Its time for WE THE LEGAL PEOPLE to make sure that these illegal aliens are forced to go back where they came from according to the Constitution………which it seems that the DEMS/RINOS/ILLEGALS have never read and could care less what is in it……….
Seems that the PNW are liberal based…………Being that I used no profanity, but stated FACTS, my comment is awaiting moderation…………Maybe PNW ought to start reading the CALIF. news that the newspapers carry on a daily basis…..
