Europe’s Dubious Turkish Deal May Be a Problem for Us Too

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.

The first illegal migrants have begun returning to Turkey, the nation from which most made the hijra, or Islamic migration, to Europe.  Beleaguered Europeans shouldn’t pop the champagne corks, though.

They’re unlikely to get relief from an invasion of their continent by mostly military-age Muslim males.  For one thing, under a deal struck with Turkey by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the Turks can send the EU one so-called “refugee” for every illegal migrant shipped out. 

Still more problematic is the European Union’s promise no longer to require Turkish travelers to obtain visas.  That would surely translate into an even larger Muslim migration – including jihadists – with visitors overstaying and taking advantage of the EU’s still-porous interior borders.    

And from Europe, it will be relatively easy for some to get to the United States, too.
