Could this be the end of the EU Super State dream? The dream that saw European member countries losing their individual nations and becoming just borderless regions in the giant EU bloc? The Danes, who are part of the open borders Schengen Agreement, have decided to restore their borders with Germany and Sweden because of increased crime and drug trafficking brought about by the flow of mostly Eastern European people travelling to Denmark. Likewise the Dutch are in dispute with the EU because they want to deport immigrants who come into Holland and do not find work within 3 months of entry. They also want to stop them claiming welfare as soon as they enter the country. This year Britain was ordered by the EU to pay welfare as soon as someone steps onto British shores, in spite of the newcomers not contributing a penny to the UK. With the shaky position of the Euro and the member countries seeking to control their own borders again, one wonders if other EU countries will follow suit in respect of immigrants and if this spells the end of the whole EU project.
See Denmark fences itself off from the EU, raising disintegration fears and Dutch want to throw out migrant Poles who can't find a job
