The EU has finally decided to crack down on refugee claimants.
While at the same time France has brought criminal charges and the threat of imprisonment on one of its native citizens for saying on TV that it was an illegal immigrant who raped her and that it's immigrants whom the women of France fear while going about their daily lives.
For saying that, she faces years in prison and thousands in fines for "inciting racial hatred".
To be clear, she was the one who was raped by the diversity her government inflicted on the country and she's not only had to endure that, but now is facing imprisonment for talking about it.

Frankly, I was shocked that the EU had come together to make the
decision to hold refugee claims at a distance, exactly because some of
its most prominent members continue to have policies like the one Macron
is using to intimidate this woman. I'm still having trouble believing
the EU will actually carry out the policy they've apparently agreed to.
The EU is a bizarre institution. I'm sure I've read that the EU
parliament can neither, create, amend or defeat legislation with all of
that done in other parts of the EU which are far more opaque. Unless
that has changed, I don't see how such a policy could be agreed in the Parliament. But maybe there have been some reforms.
Honestly, I wonder if this is just a bad case of BS reporting where some proposal has been treated as enacted legislation. ... After a bit of
research, it seems this new legislation has yet to be approved by the 27 members of the EU. I don't know how likely it is to be implemented if
any one of the 27 countries could veto it as I believe the current rules allow. But maybe legislation isn't allowed to pass until there is an
informal consensus that all 27 members are on board with the intent of
the legislation.
I'm not clear if this legislation affects only new refugee claimants or
those who are already within the EU borders. Even if the 27 member
countries approve the legislation, I'd be shocked if the activists don't
mount court challenges to it, which could easily result in the
legislation being overturned or delayed while the court cases work their
way through the system.
In any case, the various EU countries are still going to be able to have policies like the one Macron is using against the woman raped by the "refugees". They're a long way from being out of the woods yet but
maybe, just maybe, they've made the first few steps in the right direction.
