The Next EU Migrant Plan

If you look across the German news this morning, there are bits and pieces of the EU talk from yesterday....of a new migration plan that the EU has dreamed up.

The EU wants a clean and ethical pathway into the EU....to stop all this smuggler-boat business into Italian waters. 

The idea presented is this: you have a paperwork situation where 50,000 Africans can come through....demonstrate their background, skills, IDs, and degrees....and get a 'resettlement process'.

Now, this would mean that someone in the EU would be a clearing house for the likely two-million applicants sending in their paperwork, and then there would be a outward flow team who would assign you to a EU member (27 states soon after the Brits leave).  So you wouldn't exactly be able to pick and choose any country.  You'd be limited.  Acceptance of being 'assigned'?  I doubt seriously that the 50,000 that you'd give entry paperwork for....would be willing to consider the lesser economic states like Greece, Portugal, or Czech.  They'd also sit and ponder over unemployment rates and ask how stupid it'd be to put you into country with 11-percent unemployment.

The EU?  Never one single mention of the unemployment rate issue throughout Europe.

From the 2-million likely applicants, with 1.95 million refused?  Will they just accept that or continue on with their smuggler route expedition?  If I were a betting person....I would be on 100,000 people attempting the smuggler route each year out of North Africa. 

But we come to this odd part of the EU deal.  Basically, they are saying that they want the best and brightest....the more educated....the people with crafts and skills.

So if you were a country like Nigeria or Ivory Coast....spending millions each year on a college or job-training system, and watched thousands apply and leave over a decade long into Europe, and you getting NO return on the education you provided....would you continue to support the education system you created?

I have my doubts.

You'd wake up in a decade with all these that you wasted money on, gone forever, and not part of your economic system or future. 

In terms of long-term support, I think all of the educational systems in Africa would suffer a major blow in ten to twenty years. 

This is another case of a bunch intellectual 'geeks' sitting around in some room, and inventing some paper-dragon-like exercise to say we know a smart way of doing this....then inventing a fairly screwed up mess and then some idiot would have to come along in five to ten years to solve or fix the next big crisis created.
