Diplomat: “Not Even Tanks” Can Stop Large Wave of Afghan Refugees Heading to Europe
Merkel and Macron scramble to prevent repeat of 2015.

Published

Despite Europe heavily fortifying its borders since the 2015 crisis, a top diplomat warns that “not even tanks” can stop a potentially large wave of Afghan refugees heading to the continent.
Even before the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, up to 30,000 people were fleeing the country every single week.
Humanitarian development worker Sybille Schnehage told German broadcaster WDR on Sunday, “We can assume that up to three million Afghans will make their way to Europe in the foreseeable future.”
Schnehage explained how the refugees are intent on leaving the Middle East entirely and settling in European welfare havens where the state partially subsidizes their lives.
“I always ask people: Why don’t you go to Saudi Arabia? They are Muslims. This is your culture. The answer is always: No, Germany is better.”
Although many experts think that Europe’s efforts to strengthen its ports of entry since 2015 will prevent a repeat of the 2015 invasion, others aren’t so confident.
According to Politico’s Bruno Maçães, “Europeans have to realize a new refugee wave now seems inevitable.”
Maçães asked a diplomat in Kabul, who opined that no amount of high-tech surveillance or beefed up border controls can stop an influx of people if their numbers are large enough.
“When the numbers are high enough, nothing can stop them. Not even tanks,” said the diplomat.
Wary of upcoming elections where they will face opposition from anti-immigration populists, European leaders like Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron are scrambling to prevent a repeat of 2015, when over a million migrants entered Europe, a crisis that led to massive social dislocation, rising violent crime and multiple ISIS-inspired terror attacks.
Armin Laschet, the head of the Christian Democratic Union and the man most likely to replace Chancellor Angela Merkel, said “2015 should not be repeated.”
Macron has called for a “robust, coordinated and united response” in order to protect the continent from “major irregular migratory flows.”
However, two countries that bore the brunt of the previous refugee crisis, Greece and Turkey, have indicated that they will put up stern resistance to absorbing large numbers of migrants fleeing Afghanistan.
Notis Mitarachi, Greece’s minister for migration, told Reuters that his country “will not and cannot” become a gateway for migrants and refugees trying to reach the EU.
After signing a 6 billion euros ($7.03 billion) deal with the EU, Turkey is already home to 4 million refugees, the largest such population in the world.
Turks are already deeply concerned about the economic impact this has had on their country and are loathe to accept any more migrants.
“Turkish public opinion is openly against any further arrivals, particularly from Afghanistan, whose culture and customs differ markedly from Turkey’s,” said Wolfango Piccoli, co-president of consultancy firm Teneo.
As we document in the video above, while the media is now re-framing “refugees” as basically anyone who doesn’t like their own government, the vast majority of Afghan “refugees” are in fact economic migrants.
The UK government has also announced that Afghan “refugees” will be allowed to enter the country without even showing a passport.
Home Secretary Priti Patel has also called on other European countries to follow the UK’s lead in providing “support to the most vulnerable fleeing Afghanistan so they can start a new life in safety in the UK, away from the tyranny and oppression they face in Afghanistan.”
While refusing to stay in closer safe havens like Saudi Arabia or Turkey, many will seek to exploit the weakness of western governments and the strength of European borders, including violent criminals and terrorists.

CBP Data: 16 Terrorists On FBI Watchlist Crossed Southern Border In February Alone
How many got away?

20 March, 2023Steve Watson

Fresh data from Customs and Border Protection has revealed that sixteen people matched to the FBI’s terrorist watchlist were apprehended by Border Patrol agents in February alone.
As reported by Fox News, the total number of individuals on the watchlist found to be attempting to enter the country so far this fiscal year is now 69.
CBP expects the trend to continue, and to smash last fiscal year’s record 98 encounters.
Between FY17 and FY20 there were only 8 of these terror watchlist arrests, and in 2021 only 15.
NEW: CBP data reveals Border Patrol arrested 16 people on the FBI’s terror watchlist who crossed illegally at the southern border in February, bringing total terror watchlist arrests for FY’23 (so far) to 69.

FY’23 is on pace to beat FY’22, which had 98, an all time record.… https://t.co/k80jfpo2xi
When border the Southern and Northern borders are taken into account, FY23 has seen 214 people in the Terrorist Screening Database stopped by CBP agents to date. Last year, the total was 380, yet the year before that there were only 157 encounters.
Last year, the FBI arrested an Iraqi man who was plotting to smuggle ISIS operatives into the U.S. through the southern border in a plan to assassinate George Bush. He also claimed to have just successfully smuggled two Hezbollah fighters into the U.S. https://t.co/vPPdsYOdrS https://t.co/XiDVCMpbIl

The Department of Homeland Security says the border is secure and claims that the biggest terror threat the U.S. faces is ‘domestic extremists’ radicalised by “false narratives propagated on online platforms.”
The latest data shows that on the whole, CBP apprehended 128,877 people who crossed the border illegally in January and another 128,913 in February.
Those figures are down from December when a record amount of illegal crossings were recorded, as 251,487 illegal immigrants crossed, marking the highest monthly total in history. A total of 17 individuals on the terrorism watchlist were apprehended.
Last week, during testimony before the House, Border Patrol chief Raúl Ortiz contradicted Biden administration officials by stating that there is a full on crisis on the southern border, urging that it is not secure, and calling for a wall to be built.
Ortiz noted that there have already been approximately 385,000 known gotaways at the border since fiscal year 2023 began on Oct 1. That is in addition to 600,000 in FY’22, and 390,000 in FY’21. There have been approximately 1.4 million gotaways since start of FY’21.

Video: Border Patrol Chief Testifies Border Is Not Secure, Wall Needed
Not a single Democrat attended the hearing

During testimony before the House Wednesday, Border Patrol chief Raúl Ortiz contradicted Biden administration officials by stating that there is a full on crisis on the southern border, urging that it is not secure, and calling for a wall to be built.
Biden officials, including DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, have repeatedly claimed that the border is under control, yet Ortiz confirmed that there is no operational control of the entire southern border.
Rep. Mark Green questioned Ortiz with a display behind him that noted “operational control,” as defined by U.S. law, is “the prevention of all unlawful entries into the United States, including entries by terrorists, other unlawful aliens, instruments of terrorism, narcotics and other contraband.”
🚨🚨: Border Patrol chief Raul Ortiz just told @RepMarkGreen that DHS *does not* have operational control of the southern border.
— John Cooper (@thejcoop) March 15, 2023
This is huge, because Secretary Mayorkas recently said DHS did have operational control. Huge admission. pic.twitter.com/rDezfonqST
Ortiz went on to talk about the numbers flooding the border:

🚨#BREAKING I just asked Border Patrol Chief Raúl Ortiz about the ‘gotaways’
— Rep. Carlos A. Gimenez (@RepCarlos) March 15, 2023
At today’s Homeland Security Committee hearing, Chief Ortiz testified that there is an additional 20% of illegal alien ‘gotaways’ that’s completely unaccounted for. https://t.co/yVwWRF94OQ
Elsewhere during the hearing, Ortiz said it was a mistake to stop building President Trump’s wall. He also defended the agents who were accused and cleared of whipping migrants while on horseback.
The Biden admin has claimed that there are 23,000+ Border Patrol agents working nationwide.
— Bill Melugin (@BillFOXLA) March 15, 2023
US Border Patrol Chief Raul Ortiz just testified that he only has 19,000 agents right now. He says he requires 22,000 agents or he will have to continue pulling from other fed agencies.
Not a single Democrat was present at the hearing:

Ortiz’s comments come as the CBP reported over 150,000 encounters with illegals in February:

Videos: Massive Group Of 1000 Illegals Attempts To Smash Through El Paso Border Barriers

Video and photos have emerged of a massive group of 1000 illegal immigrants attempting to rush the border at at check point on the Paso Del Notre bridge.
The establishment media barely reported on the incident, with Fox News’ Bill Melugin the only reporter to cover the incident.
NEW: Our live report this evening as a massive group migrants attempted to rush the Paso Del Norte port of entry in El Paso, TX this afternoon. CBP special response teams, some in crowd control gear, repelled the group. Live cams show migrants still gathered on the bridge. pic.twitter.com/Axw1PTI8kG

The footage shows that most trying to cross are young men.
Both Mexican police and U.S. border agents managed to stop the attempt to crash through the check point utilising barricades of barbed wire and other physical barriers.

Live cams show the migrants have dispersed and CBP & the Mexican military now have the bridge under control. However, the bridge is now closed to vehicle traffic, and has been for hours.

The migrants were reportedly emboldened by a rumour that the CBP on the bridge was letting people through days earlier:
The fact that large groups of illegal migrants are now emboldened enough to rush a U.S. port of entry shows the situation is worsening. The Biden administration remains unfazed and continues to do nothing.

This is now a regular occurrence:

The latest incident comes in the wake of revelations that The Red Cross is providing materials including maps to undocumented immigrants in an attempt help them successfully illegally cross the border into the U.S.
