It is the job of the country where they arrive first, for example Greece, to sort that out. They didn't. Instead they just lat the pass through in violation of the Schengen agreement. Greece (to stay with our example) should have rejected everybody whose asylum applications are groundless as well as anybody who doesn't apply for asylum.
What we need in this century is less centralisation of power but more cooperation between countries using modern tools.
Be careful what you wish for; you may get it.
Power finds a way. Where political power wanes, corporate power becomes ascendant. Unlike political power, corporate power is not accountable to the likes of thee and me; it is only accountable to its shareholders.
That way lies the TTIP.
If it was your country that was in the south
But to listen to the news, cops shoot first when it's a black suspect and whites are treated with kid-gloves. It would be funny to observe how the media paints this stuff if it wasn't such a serious subject.
If it was your country that was in the southBut it isn't.
Greece has a quite large military they can use for man power to screen migrants. There are no excuses for them sitting on their hands.
It's ironic though, you brits start an illegal war with the US in Iraq and in the aftermath millions of people are on the run for war and then you refuse to do your part?

Democracy is all about letting other people determine their own course
Democracy is all about letting other people determine their own courseActually it has nothing to do with that
Those interior EU countries who insist on the current EU laws, and who advertise their "acceptance" of refugees should be chanllenged to step up to the plate and honor their words, not just paying lip services.

Don't stop at an arbitrary time that seems to prove your point.
It's the blame-america-first approach. I see it also here coming from the left. It fits their oppressor/victim view of the world.

Personally I prefer having foreign nations sorting out their internal affairs, regardless how ugly they are or how desperately they ask for help. The world is an ungrateful place.

OK, now this is just getting silly. The USA has had a policy of exerting military power beyond its borders and interfering in the affairs of other nations for a really long time. There is nothing imagined about this.
