sead Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Commentators say the decisions deal a double blow to Europes fraying passport-free Schengen Area as it attempts to deal with a record influx of migrants. this is BS. why not just let countries do border checks and let all European citizens and legal residents pass freely with their passport / id card / residency permit ? where is the problem? was Schengen made to facilitate travel of illegals or what? if I was one of those ministers I would also start checking IDs in trains, buses, random checks on highways... security of citizens first. But that is exactly the point: traveling freely without the obligation to produce ID. More importantly: border controls have a serious economic effect. Delayed freight deliveries cost a lot of money. Why do you think there are no border controls between the different states of the USA? Traveling freely for EU citizens ! And clearly that didnt work good. Schengen takes away inside border checks and makes stronger security/checks outside. Clearly some countries didnt agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
