This is literally an invasion. They are coming from all over. If they get through, the EU is finished.

They want to bring hardship to Europe.

Once the weather warms up that trickle will become a flood. I assume the EU will cough up more money to Turkey to fund the refugee camps. But I have to ask. Where are the rich Arab nations? Charity begins at home.
