Just in case anyone had forgotten that this was sitting on the back burner - it's just been moved to the front again.

European Union Remains ‘Committed’ To Opening Borders to 75 Million Turkish Citizens as ‘Soon as Possible’

On second thoughts, maybe it's not just Islamophilia - just sheer insanity. Or Junker getting drunker?

EU President: Without Millions of African Migrants, Europe Will Be Lost

In the interview, Juncker did not expand on why Europe has a “clear need” for mass migration from the world’s poorest and most turbulent nations, but other EU figures have previously stated that the continent needs millions of third world migrants so as to combat an “ageing population”.

In making this calculation, it is unclear as to whether the European Commission has thought about the fact that migrants also get older, or the effect of an ever-expanding population on the continent’s emissions, or if it has considered the impact of automation — at a time when experts warn millions of jobs will be taken by robots in the coming years.
