"Mr President, through the EU’s failure to tackle the migrant crisis it is now impossible for Member States to resettle and integrate all those still pouring through Europe’s borders. While I recognise that Afghanistan is a country still besieged by political, economic and insurgency problems, the mass exodus of its working-age population is not going to solve any of these issues. In fact, all it does is make the nation poorer as those with the skills to rebuild head for Europe instead. That is why I am calling for all migrants not under threat from direct large-scale conflicts to be declared as economic migrants and returned to their home countries. This measure should include migrants from many other nations, especially those in receipt of EU funds aimed at tackling the migrant crisis.
How can the EU be throwing money at a national leader while at the same time declaring that same country’s citizens are refugees? It just does not make sense. Only by taking drastic action now can we stop the influx, secure our borders from terrorism and help countries rebuild and develop."@en1
