Get ready for Summer 2026, Europe!

In case Europe hadn't already been completely overrun enough, there's apparently a fresh batch of migrants ready to hit its shores!

From GBN:

More than half a million illegal migrants have massed in North Africa, readying to flood into Europe, the Greek Government has warned.

The country's Migration Minister, Thanos Plevris, sounded the alarm this week, revealing that Greek authorities believe around 550,000 migrants are in Libya alone awaiting the opportunity to break into the continent.

Plevris issued a (seemingly empty) threat to migrants that, if any of them were found not to qualify for asylum, they would be detained and later turned away.

The minister declared 'there is no reason for Greece to open its borders and accept people,' adding that the country will 'operate within the legal framework, but will also reach its limits in order to protect the borders.'

As if Greece β€” along with other European nations β€” hadn't reached its limits for taking in migrants. Now they're already at a breaking point, with few options for dealing with the crisis.

At least 1.2 million migrants are believed to have used Greece as a gateway to infiltrate Europe since 2015.

At least Greece seems to be attempting to show a backbone. The only question now is…

Too little, way too late?
