“The Economist” stated the importance of Greece’s issue of illegal migration in an article.
The magazine commented that Greece has become the main illegal migration-route into the European Union in recent years and despite the fact that Greece is a country of emigrants, the country is unready for a mass influx.
The Economist said that Greece’s crisis is Europe’s problem, while “two big European projects, the euro and Schengen, are under severe strain in Greece. To work, they require mutual trust.”
Southern countries want the option to halt the return of asylum-seekers to their first country of entry, while Northerners fear this might encourage southerners to export their problem.
The Economist stressed that if Greece wants to suspend Dublin II, it should accept a temporary suspension of Schengen and the return of border controls.
