The simmering migrant crisis at the French-Italian border

What happens at Italy’s western door to northern Europe when migration crises put EU external borders under pressure? Monica Pinna went to Ventimiglia, at the French-Italian border, to take the pulse of this historic migrant runway.

    I don’t think those other countries would be so keen on the Italian migration policy which basically is just sending their illegal migrants to other European countries for them to deal with.

    I'm an American now living in Holland for roughly 18 years total, when Western Europe became the E.U. as we know it as of today, I was telling my father in law and many others that's you are making the boarders wide open for illegal Migration and it's going to turn out badly for Europe, he then replied it'll be all right, I then said lets give it 15 years and well see where we are then, well it's been a tad over 15 years and now we're exactly where we are that I thought we would be today, people here at the time thought I was crazy, now they think I wasn't so crazy, so to say who's laughing now. Once these migrants from Africa makes land then are trying get to the better off countries such as Holland, I will know this because I well do a little bit of volunteer work for a program that will cater to migrants, and most has been in Italy France, Greece and so on and the word is that these other countries were horrible for them, here in Holland where I am there is a center where there will be roughly 50 people that will be coming in every day, the building is very clean and warm, there will be computers, comfy seating, a small gym, a barber shop, a sewing room, showers, lockers and hot meals and so on. Sorry to say I will not disclose the location of this facility for fear that it will be over runed. Here in Holland we will also have lots and lots of Migrants from Eastern Europe as well, not really migrants because they are from some of the lessor E.U. member countries. When Yo! Yo! Merkle gave the green light for Migration, I said out loud to my wife, HERE WE GO! The flood gates are now open, the disaster is about to begin. I couldn't believe what I was seeing on the tube that many Germans were bending over back wards welcoming migrants with open arms and look where they are today, all I can say, I saw it coming. Think Europe has it bad the U.S. is even worse, Europe will have boat loads of people arriving to Europe, the U.S. will be seeing caravans of people arriving to the U.S. boarder by the thousands, bottom line the whole World is going down the rabbit hole, just my 2 cents worth.

    I can't post my honest opinion, but USA IS BECOMING A 3RD WORLD COUNTRY. Currently people have slept in Polica Stations, school gyms, cafeterias, in tents outside, and they have asked public right out if they have a spare room, or rental property. There's no place to put economic illigal migrants, crimes started the minute they arrived, in hotels drugs, drinking and women. Illigals are not happy with their food, some accommodation, and they complaining that USA needs to do better. In Europe, some countries are Collapsing from financial drain, most illegal migrants are uneducated or unemployable, and Muslims do need to pray 5 times a day. Crimes are up, murders, rapes. Countries like France, UK, Brits, are heading towards Ghetto looks, pretty soon we can start building mud huts to accommodate our guests. Americans started moving into Europe, that's going down fast. European Union is looking to destroy all of Europe, and they're succeeding. USA ALREADY HAS DESTROYED USA. Those that use to visit USA, commented that they couldn't wait to go back to Europe. I lived in Europe after WWII, we rebuild, struggled and rose up, I guess that's too much for European Union to watch Europe looking nice, so they want to make it Ghetto.

    How is the French ultimately giving them free passage? Aren't they currently and having been for a while now pushing them back at Menton, which is a major point of entry into France since many have entered European soil through Italy. The French are suffering with this crisis too, as is Italy. The people in Calais France are no more happy with what their city has become as migrants want to enter Britain just as Ventimiglia Italy is unhappy with migrants that want to go to France and beyond. It seems to me that during this crisis, the only way each country needs to stop the influx is that each country protects its own borders and towns, if anything, as a second layer of protection, because there is going to be leaks in more southern and eastern entry points.

Since we are a mixed group of expats (Americans, British, Canadian) we'll just start talking, and they always skip us when they hear our accents. When you think about it, it's really sad...
