IMMIGRATION thread

[Sarmatian]

Nice to hear, Interpol estimates 3000 to 5000 jihadists, and that are just the returnees who got training there. Why they are allowed to come back is beyond me but alas. There are of course many more among the refugees.

No, Interpol estimates that there "could be up to 5000" of them in Europe.

While a few lines down there's this info

There is no concrete evidence terrorists are systematically using of the flow of refugees to infiltrate Europe

Left it open-ended enough

They come to Europe by the backdoor - through the German parliament:

Red Army Fraction, caused a lot of trouble in Germany. Some are still active in the antifacist(lol) movements. Different thing though. But it's incredibly naive to think IS wouldn't cease the oppertunity of letting jihadi's travel among the migrants. A fake identity can easily be bought in Turkey, costs a few thousands to get a fake ID that is a perfect copy of a real one. Refugees don't have the money for that but IS does. The Turkish maffa and IS don't make a secret out of it that it works that way.

...which is all just conjecture. Let's just ignore that the terrorists in Paris, for example, were EU citizens - ie there is no evidence AT ALL that terrorists are sneaking in among the refugees.

I do wonder what purpose EUROPOL thought there was in issuing a statement regarding how many numbers of terrorists MIGHT be entering Europe...without any evidence at all....doesn't sound like particularly competent police work. In fact it sounds a lot like simple 'racial profiling'...

True, there is no there evidence at all. (sidenote, believe me it's true, you will just have to take my word for it, I got no links, no sources, but I do know people who live there.)

While it is true that they were mostly (or all?) citizens of European countries, they also gained access and entry to Europe by hiding amongst the stream of refugees. Or should we ignore the passport that was registered as entering Greece as a refugee last summer being connected to the perps?

You mean that passport that had nothing to do with the terrorists? That one? The thing is, French intelligence have stated they were watching this cell and knew they had returned to Europe from Syria (so...not by sneaking in with refugees...otherwise EUROPOL would have evidence, wouldn't they.)...and then 'lost' them.

You know...it's so easy to get people to believe something...just write it as a headline story. Doesn't matter if the story is later shown to have no truth to it....it'll always be the thing that people remember. Just like the idea that refugees are responsible for the New Year attacks on women...you might want to update yourselves on that information as well....
