The reason they are even at the border is that they are enticed by welfare in countries like Germany and Sweden. There are relatively rich nations with nobody at the border, like Saudi Arabia.

To the degree Africa is unlivable it's because of Africans and their high birthrate (but most of it is not unlivable at all, it's just that Europe is richer and you get free everything).

Either the EU closes its borders or immigration will be the end of Europe. Don't pretend you don't understand this.

It's the end of Europe, brace yourselves. It's not going to help that many there share similar (wrong) beliefs about why Northern Africa is going to hell, so you'll waste time on draconian measures that won't help in the slightest.

I can understand the desire to feel like you have something in your control though, when the reality is so very different.

Controlling the border is no problem at all. It's only a matter of will - just look at Israel.

So it only takes massive support from a superpower, being a tiny nation, building an actual wall and manning it, and spending an absolute fortune on defending it? http://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/business/israel-shells-ou...

This just in... Europe is quite a bit larger than Israel, and composed of different sovereign nations.
