ROME (AP) — Marine Le Pen, the leader of France's far-right National Front party, warned Italy Tuesday to prepare to "accept half of the world population" if it starts taking in economic refugees.

Le Pen on Monday toured an immigrant center in Lampedusa, a small Italian island where thousands of would-be migrants fleeing unrest in North Africa and the Mideast have landed.

She said she learnt from her visit that the majority of migrants were men aged between 20 and 30, who "are obviously economic refugees."

But since there are just about no border controls between most western European nations, doesn't that mean that if Italy accepts those refuges they can go anywhere in Europe?

The Schengen Area comprises the territories of twenty-five European countries that have implemented the Schengen Agreement signed in the town of Schengen, Luxembourg, in 1985. The Schengen Area operates very much like a single state for international travel with border controls for those travelling in and out of the area, but with no internal border controls. The Schengen rules were absorbed into European Union (EU) law by the Amsterdam Treaty in 1999, although the area officially includes three non-EU member states, Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, and de facto includes three European micro-states, Monaco, San Marino, and Vatican City. All but two EU members states–Ireland and the United Kingdom–are required to implement Schengen and, with the exceptions of Bulgaria, Cyprus, and Romania, have already done so. The area currently covers a population of over 400 million people and an area of 4,312,099 square kilometres (1,664,911 sq mi).

As I have been watching the Muslim situation in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya. I have been thinking of what a great opportunity for Muslims to flood the nearby Infidel countries of Italy, Germany, France and England with Muslims under the guise of seeking asylum.

It's a lot easier to do the Infidel in, if he is withing arms reach, and can be directly intimidated, than trying to do it from thousands of miles away.

And you just have to have the feeling that the dumb, American hating Infidels in this country will want some of those Muslim reugees to come here. - Tom

EU means they can go anywhere. This is my understanding.

You don't have to rely on feelings. Why else do we have infestations of primitive somali rabble sprayed across the country? Idiots like Bush thought we needed hundreds of thousands more illiterate moslem foreigners, for some reason.
