Politico Europe cites apocalyptic commentary on the state of the European Union. Those expressing dire sentiments are no short hitters: we have the presidents of the European Council and European Commission, Chancellor Angela Merkel, the elected leaders of Austria, France, Slovenia, and the Netherlands, and the president of the European Parliament, among others. The refugee crisis is what triggers this doom and gloom, of course.
Will the EU manage to stumble through this crisis and hold together? Probably, but it may be wounded beyond repair in the process. Admitting hundreds of thousands of unassimilable third world people is stupid, Europe should turn them back at the border.
