Washington Post: Spring could bring a fresh surge of refugees. But Europe isn’t ready for them.
LONDON — After an unparalleled tide of asylum seekers washed onto European shores last summer and fall, the continent’s leaders vowed to use the relative calm of winter to bring order to a process marked by chaos.
But with only weeks to go before more favorable spring currents are expected to trigger a fresh surge of arrivals, the continent is no better prepared. And in critical respects, the situation is even worse.
Ideas that were touted as answers to the crisis last year have failed or remain stuck in limbo. Continental unity lies in tatters, with countries striking out to forge their own solutions — often involving a razor-wire fence. And even the nations that have been the most welcoming toward refugees say they are desperately close to their breaking point or already well past it.
The result, analysts say, is a continent fundamentally unequipped to handle the predictable resurgence of a crisis that is greater than any Europe has faced in its post-Cold War history.

WNU Editor: The only way this migration crisis can be stopped is for Germany, Sweden, UK, etc. to say that their borders are now no longer open, and they will not accept any more refugees. And if people choose to come anyway, there will be consequences .... no one will granted citizenship, no benefits, and in the end will be deported ASAP. But .... this is not going to happen .... at least for now.

The impending securing of Syria for Syrians would help stem the flow of Syrian refugees, who would rather live in their home country.
So would the EU fulling funding the UNHCR, rather than paying blackmail to Ergodan, so that the "First Safe Refuge" camps in Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, Syria and Turkey wern't 3rd World Hellholes, "help".
So would sending some teachers, Civil Affairs staff, medical staff and some police, it would also help with that EU Unemployment problem a little.
