FT Bombshell: EU Unveils Standing Border Force That Will Act "Even If A Government Ob

Kind of interesting, the Europeans never liked the Berlin Wall and now it looks like they want to erect a wall.

Quote:

The move would arguably represent the biggest transfer of sovereignty since the creation of the single currency.
Against the backdrop of a crisis that has seen 1.2m migrants reach Europe this year, the European Commission will unveil plans next week to replace the Frontex border agency with a permanent border force and coastguard — deployed with the final say of the commission, according to EU officials and documents seen by the Financial Times.
The blueprint represents a last-ditch attempt to save the Schengen passport-free travel zone, by introducing the kind of common border policing repeatedly demanded by Paris and Berlin. Britain and Ireland have opt-outs from EU migration policy, and would not be obliged to take part in the scheme.

You are comparing apples and oranges. The Berlin Wall was meant to contain a population that wanted to leave, this wall is meant to exclude an unwanted invader.

Big Difference.
