“The expulsion of illegal aliens: the European way”
Link - http://www.autonoomcentrum.nl/overdegrens/7/index_en.html

[‘The way in which the member countries of the European Union are trying to synchronize their ayllumseekers-policies, is not yet very successful or spectacular. But these countries are moving forward and are creating - step by step - a policy framework which will allow them to cooperate better. ‘Europe’ also hopes - in the near future - to be able to tranfer the responsibility for asylum-seekers to other regions in the world.These regions are usually more poor than the member states of the European Union.

Experts from several member countries of the EU are now writing a handbook. The authors of this handbook will describe several procedures on how to remove illegal people and asylum-seekers. These member countries want to cooperate and want to use charter flight together, for removing ‘illegal aliens’.

The handbook will also describe the following matters: which national organisations have the task to remove ‘illegal aliens’ people, what rules these organisations have to follow, what kind of identity documents can be used, in what way airline carriers are responsible, what security measures are necessary, and several other ‘rules’ and ‘facts’ that government bureaucrats might need when they have to remove ‘illegal aliens’.

The handbook is tan initiative of the Italian government and it is a result of an action programme devised by the member states of the EU at the end of 2002. Italy also proposed to make it possible to transfer ‘illegal aliens’ by car or bus - accompanied by members of the police force - and transport them through several European countries until they have reached their point of destination. At the moment most ‘illegal aliens’ are removed by plane or boat. So the point of the Italian initiative is to make it possible to use other means of transportation.

Both proposals make it clear that a common European expulsion policy of illegal aliens people is still at a premature stage. The member states are busy removing several administrative, legal and organisational obstacles that hinder a common policy on ‘illegal aliens’. Sometimes no airline carrier in a certain member state flies directly from this state to the point of origin of a certain asyllumseeker. In this case ‘illegal aliens’ must be brought to another European airport to be put there on a plane.

(continued; “The expulsion of illegal aliens: the European way”)

This looks like a simple operation but it isn’t. Government officials of the country who are trying to put the illegal aliens man/woman on a plane encounter many problems. Examples of these problems are: which country is paying all the bills?,Which country is responsible for medical care and general assistance? Which organizations will prevent the illegal aliens man/woman from being transported to a country where he or she will be prosecuted and or mistreated. What kind of a transit-visa will be used? These matters keep lots of government bureaucrats in different EU member countries occupied. These problems must be solved.

The individual EU member countries are primarily responsible for removing ‘illegal aliens themselves and this situation will not radically change in the near future. The asylum procedures of the EU member states are national matters; the same can be said about the process of removing ‘illegal aliens’. At present, there is no general European expulsion policy. The main results of the European drive for cooperation on this matter are initiatives for more mutual support, for streamlining procedures, for removing legal obstacles, and for organising meetings to talk about best practices concerning the removal of ‘illegal aliens’.

EU member countries have agreed to acknowledge each others decisions to remove ‘illegal aliens’, this is the most clear example today of a drive towards a common policy. If policemen in Holland arrest an Algerian man - and if it is clear that the French authorities have already decided to remove this man - then the Dutch authorities are responsbile for transporting this man back to Algeria. In such a situation problems can always arise because it is not clear which country is then responsible for the financial consequences of the removal of the illegal aliens Algerian.

The above suggests that the European Unionstill hasa long way to go before it will reach at the goal of a common expulsion policy. But is is also true that the European Union is rather active and focuses its activity on three main points of concern related to the expulsion of ‘illegal aliens’.’]

This will lead to consternation within the anti-American liberal crowd, bummer. World wide, people want Illegal Aliens out of their countries. We’re not alone after all, it’s the libs who’re on the wrong side of an issue, yet again…
