Worries as EU’s Schengen borders expand east

Worries as EU’s Schengen borders expand east - Telegraph: “Knut Paul, the head of Germany’s police trade union, has warned that the new Schengen members will not be able to defend the EU’s borders. ‘We are exposing ourselves to the threat of being swamped by criminals and illegal immigrants,’ he said.
On its visit to the border between Hungary and the Ukraine, The Sunday Telegraph found evidence of serious weaknesses in controls over immigrants from outside the EU. Officials said that they caught fewer than a third of those attempting to cross illegally.”

The EU has its own illegal immigration problem.
