EU pours millions into Greece to act as border 'shield' against escalating migrant crisis

The European Union, in an effort to curb a brewing crisis at its borders, is pouring hundreds of millions of euros into Greece in the hope it will act as a “shield” against fresh migrant flows that could foreshadow a migrant crisis similar to that that wreaked havoc on the continent in 2015.

“This border is not only a Greek border, it is also a European border,” E.U. Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said. “I thank Greece for being our European shield in these times.”

She announced nearly $800 million in funding for Greece, for establishing and keeping up “infrastructure” at the border. The dramatic move comes amid a sharply escalating crisis after Turkey opened the country’s border to Greece as part of an apparent push to make Europe offer more support in dealing with the fallout of the Syrian war.

“Our first priority is making sure that order is maintained at the Greek external border, which is also a European border. I am fully committed to mobilizing all the necessary operational support to the Greek authorities,” she said.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said his decision has pushed more than 100,000 people to cross into Greece so far. That estimate is higher than those of Greek authorities, who on Wednesday said 32,000 people have attempted to cross the border. About 230 people, mostly from Afghanistan, had been arrested.

The mass movement of migrants and refugees to Greece's borders appears to be organized. Buses, cars, and cabs were organized in Istanbul to ferry people to the border, while some of those who managed to cross have said they were told by Turkish authorities to go to Greece and that the border was open.

Reuters cited estimates that say Turkey has 3.6 million Syrian refugees within its borders, since signing a 2016 deal with the E.U. to act as a gate to Europe in return for billions of euros of aid from the bloc. The March 2016 deal said that Turkey agreed to stop migrants and refugees crossing into Europe in return of $6.6 billion and enhanced EU-Turkey ties, including visa-free travel for Turkish citizens.

There are signs that the situation is steadily worsening at the border between Greece and Turkey. On Friday, migrants clashed with authorities, with Greek riot-control police firing tear gas and water cannons to keep them back.

With Erdogan opening the gates to Europe, the consequences could be enormous for the continent and it is striking panic into the hearts of European leaders.

What's funny is that while they would chastise others out one side of their mouth for not openly welcoming these refugees, they were busy paying off Turkey to prevent them from having to openly welcome these refugees.

I think the E.U. learned a very valuable lesson...unfortunately, it’s too late for them IMO

Just wondering, when you were a child did you ever hear your parents say something like, "Just because little Johnny did it, doesn't mean it's right"?

Your problem is that's what almost every Democrat says. They just think you can accomplish it without building a wall.

You just keep spreading the lies you're being spoon fed.

Ain't that the truth. After putting him on ignore, I'm amazed at how often he posts on every and any subject - I never realized it until posts showed up as "you are ignoring this user" At times, out of 20 posts on a page, close to half of them are his.

A perfect example of being outrageously arrogant in your opinion. Lambaste anyone in the West for wanting to slow refuge migration…..a few years later building a “shield” to avoid calling it a wall……I mean could you possibly be any more ridiculous.

This is what cowardice looks like. Hides behind a wall while attacking someone. Refuses to look at what you are posting while making attacks against the person he ignores. What a brave little man.

I don't mind if he ignores me. But ignoring someone and pulling a chicken $#!+ move to attack them when you can't see their response is low. Either step up or step off.
