Germany Nixes Schengen

 


Germany has just announced temporary border controls at all land borders to tackle illegal migration and to protect public from Islamist extremism.
 
The Deputy Head of the Federal Police:
'The crisis in Germany's security is a direct consequence of Schengen's ineffective policies. Schengen's inability to manage migration effectively has put Germany's safety at stake.'
The Social Democrat Party has notified the EU it will bring back all land border controls.
 
The domino effect will be the likely result of this, as other countries in the EU follow suit and restore their border controls.
