A top European security official on Thursday expressed skepticism about President-elect Donald Trumps idea of building a wall to prevent illegal migrants from coming to the United States from Mexico.
Fabrice Leggeri, executive director of Frontex, the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, told reporters that building physical barriers does not solve the underlying problems that are causing migration: poverty and conflict.
This doesnt address the root cause of this phenomenon, Leggeri said, adding that some European Union member states have erected fences between them.
Illegal migration has become a hot topic both in the United States and in Europe.

Why would anyone care what some moron in the EU thinks about the border between the US and Mexico? It’s none of his business and he should STFU about it.
He is exactly correct there.
We need a wall *AND* to deal with the faulty temporary visa program, as well.
Why don’t you mind your own damned business, Febreeze LaGary. Don’t you have exploding Muhommedians to worry about?
I’m skeptical too so I agree with the froggy. You cant have an effective wall without gun turrets and landmines.
Just watch. This is why we voted for Donald J. Trump.
European Border and Coast Guard Agency ,LOL, good one and a million plus Muslims just walked in
Another worthless piece of Eurotrash trying to tell Americans what we can and can’t do for decades.
Yea You guys are doing a bang up job over there now STFU.
Poverty and conflict is not in the USA and we want to keep it that way. Anyhow, all we are is a nation of evil racists so why would anyone want to come here anyway?

Mexico: Trump’s border wall would harm the environment
Mexico official fussing about the wall also
It isn’t OUR job to fix the underlying problems in other countries. Keeping those problems from spreading into OUR country is our job, and physical barriers are a key tool to doing that.
I like the way you think.
The French have already surrendered to the muslims, it’s all they know how to do.
your freepername means we’ll get along well ;)
Well, Mr. Fabrice Leggeri...
From looking at what has happened in France, Germany and Belgium, your expert security hasn’t been very expert, would you say????
Maybe you better take of business there before you make any recommendations here...
If Trump shows them how it can be done then they’re out of excuses for their own ‘immigrant’ mess.
The wall worked; the Germans just went around it, through another country.
