The number of migrants and refugees entering the EU by sea has soared by 60 per cent
As UK politicians struggle to get to grips with the electorate’s momentous decision to leave the EU, one of the major issues behind the vote is getting worse by the day, official figures show.
The statistics, which critics said proved the EU’s immigration policy was a “complete failure”, show alarmew study from the International Organisation for Migration, an internationally funded research body with offices in 100 countries, found that some 227,316 migrants and refugees entered Europe by sea in 2016 - mainly arriving in Italy, Greece, Cyprus and Spain.
The flow of migrants has increased from 141,969 in the same period last year and one observer condemned the record numbers as an “utter failure of EU migration police
The study found that migrants are increasingly risking the perilous journeys, with some 2,920 dying, mainly from drowning, this year alone - a dramatic rise on the 1,838 who perished during the first six months of 2015.

This means that migrant fatalities in the Mediterranean in 2016 are now 1,082 more than last year’s mid-year total.
The 383 deaths in June - slightly fewer than 13 per day - were the highest monthly total for June in three years.
In the first three days of July, two landings took place in Italy. Some 352 rescued migrants were brought to Augusta and 349 to Catania.

The Italian coastguard said huge numbers were now having to be rescued, with spikes in the numbers whenever bad weather eased.

Italian Coastguard
An Italian coastguard official explained: “We got in one day the number of arrivals we normally record in a week, as it often happens after periods of bad weather.
“We have saved a total of about 4,500 people in about the last 40 rescue operations.”
The study found that the main departure country in 2016 has been Libya, followed by Egypt.
IOM said it now has staff deployed at the main landing points in Sicily (including Lampedusa), Calabria and Apulia.
They are providing legal assistance to those arriving by sea, monitor reception conditions and support the authorities in the identification of vulnerable groups.
UKIP MEP Mike Hookem said the figures showed EU policy on migration had failed and that the UK “needs a beefed up border force.
GETTY Migrants are increasingly risking the perilous journeys, with some 2,920 dying this year alone.
He said: “Brussels told anyone who would listen that if a person landed on the coast of an EU country like Italy or Greece then they would be let in as a refugee if they were an economic migrant. If they were a criminal or terrorist we would be none the wiser and they would be allowed entry in any case.
“Meanwhile our own border force has taken a hit from this government - probably because Mr Cameron expected the UK to vote for remain and we’d become part of the EU coastguard and border force which is being debated here in Strasbourg this week.
“We need to invoke Article 50 straight away, sending a message that the UK is not a cash cow for people traffickers exploiting the EU’s porous borders and take back control.”
The crisis has reached a point that Hungary is to hold a referendum on October 2 - dubbed the Hexit - polling the nation on whether it is right for them to accept a quota of refugees set by the EU without reference to the Hungarian gove

Hundreds of migrants deported to Turkey, as part of EU-Turkey Refugee Deal

The move comes as Brussels discusses a change to asylum rules which would force member states to accept a fixed number of refugees or pay for them to be housed elsewhere. The referendum question put to Hungarians will be: “Do you want the European Union to be entitled to prescribe the mandatory settlement of non-Hungarian citizens in Hungary without the consent of parliament?”
Encouraged by Britain’s vote to quit the EU, Prime Minister Viktor Orban is hoping a successful referendum result will give him the power to challenge Brussels. Orban took an anti-immigration stance during the migrant influx to Europe last year. Hungary was the main entry point into the EU’s border-free zone for migrants travelling by land until Orban shut the Croatian and Serbian frontier.
More than 17,000 migrants have crossed into Hungary from Serbia so far this year, according to the government.

George Soros Latest Success:
The European Refugee Crisis
The refugee crisis has been blamed on the civil war currently raging in Syria. But did you ever wonder how all these people suddenly knew Europe would open its gates and let them in?
The refugee crisis is not a naturally occurring phenomenon. It coincided with OSF donating money to the US-based Migration Policy Institute and the Platform for International Cooperation on Undocumented Migrants, both Soros-sponsored organizations. Both groups advocate the resettlement of third-world Muslims into Europe.
In 2015, a Sky News reporter found “Migrant Handbooks” on the Greek island of Lesbos. It was later revealed that the handbooks, which are written in Arabic, had been given to refugees before crossing the Mediterranean by a group called “Welcome to the EU.”
Welcome to the EU is funded by—you guessed it—the Open Society Foundations.
Soros has not only backed groups that advocate the resettlement of third-world migrants into Europe, he in fact is the architect of the “Merkel Plan.”
The Merkel Plan was created by the European Stability Initiative whose chairman Gerald Knaus is a senior fellow at none other than the Open Society Foundations.
The plan proposes that Germany should grant asylum to 500,000 Syrian refugees. It also states that Germany, along with other European nations, should agree to help Turkey, a country that’s 98% Muslim, gain visa-free travel within the EU starting in 2016.
Political Discourse
The refugee crisis has raised huge concern in European countries like Hungary.
In response to 7,000 migrants entering Hungarian territory per day in 2015, the Hungarian government reestablished border control in order to keep the hordes of refugees from entering the country.
Of course this did not go down well with Soros and his close allies, the Clintons.
Bill Clinton has since come out and accused both Poland and Hungary of thinking “democracy is too much trouble” and wanting to have a “Putin-like authoritarian dictatorship.”
Seeing through Clinton’s comments, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán responded by saying, “The remarks made about Hungary and Poland … have a political dimension. These are not accidental slips of the tongue. And these slips or remarks have been multiplying since we are living in the era of the migrant crisis. And we all know that behind the leaders of the Democratic Party, we have to see George Soros.”
He went on to say that “although the mouth belongs to Clinton, the voice belongs to Soros.”
Soros has since said of Orbán’s policy toward the migrants: “His plan treats the protection of national borders as the objective and the refugees as an obstacle. Our plan treats the protection of refugees as the objective and national borders as the obstacle.”
It’s hard to imagine that he could be any clearer in his globalist intentions.
The Profit Motive
So why is Soros going to such lengths to flood Europe with hordes of third-world Muslims?
We can’t be sure, but it has recently come to light that Soros has taken a large series of “bearish derivative positions” against US stocks. Apparently, he thinks that causing chaos in Europe will spread the contagion to the United States, thus sending US markets spiraling downward.
The destruction of Europe through flooding it with millions of unassimilated Muslims is a direct plan to cause economic and social chaos on the Continent.
Another example of turmoil equaling profit for George Soros, who seems to have his tentacles in most geopolitical events.
We all understand correlation is not causation. However, given Soros’s extraordinary wealth, political connections, and his long track record of seeing and profiting from chaos, he is almost certainly a catalyst for much of the geopolitical turmoil now occurring.
He is intent on destroying national borders and creating a global governance structure with unlimited powers. From his comments directed toward Viktor Orbán, we can see he clearly views national leaders as his juniors, expecting them to become puppets that sell his narrative to the ignorant masses.
Soros sees himself as a missionary carrying out the globalist agenda taught to him by his early mentors. He uses his vast political connections to influence government policy and create crises, both economic and social, to further this agenda.
By all appearances, Soros is conspiring against humanity and is hell-bent on the destruction of Western democracies.
To any rational thinker, some global events just don’t make sense. Why, for example, would Western democracies take in millions of people whose values are completely incompatible with their own?
When we look closely at the agenda being actively promoted by the leading globalist puppet master, George Soros, things become a little clearer.

Sky Finds 'Handbook' For EU-Bound Migrants
By Jonathan Samuels, Sky News Correspondent, Lesbos, GreeceThursday 17 September 2015 - 17:23, UK
The "rough guide" contains maps, tips and phone numbers of organisations which might help refugees making the perilous crossing.
Among discarded life jackets and punctured rubber dinghies, Sky News discovered a tattered copy of the unique travel guide washed up on a beach on the Greek island of Lesbos.
The booklet's cover features a photograph of a young man on a beach at sunset, looking longingly out to sea, with oars at his feet after making the treacherous crossing.
The 'rough guide' is written in Arabic and contains phone numbers of organisations which might help refugees making the journey, such as the Red Cross and UNHCR.
Among those behind the booklet are organisations called WatchTheMed-Alarmphone and w2eu, which means 'Welcome To Europe'.

Sonia, who did not want to give her surname, is a volunteer with WatchTheMed and told Sky News: "Activists from our network distribute the guides for free in Turkey".
The guide is distributed to refugees as they come ashore on the Aegean Islands and in Athens and other Greek cities.
She added that other leaflets about safety at sea were distributed to would be migrants before they set out on their journeys with advice on what to do if they get into trouble on the water.
The guide Sky News found also contained a 24-hour hotline number for migrants to call so volunteers can then pass their details to the relevant coastguard.
"We take information about how many people are in the boats if they get into trouble" she said.
"It's a life-saving service we give to refugees. They are going to go anyway, so it's better if we give them advice."
Arabic speaker Sonia takes calls from her home in Austria and is one of a number of volunteers for WatchTheMed.

"We are a big group of about 100 people" she said. "We are based across Europe and North Africa."
The pocket-sized guide has a handy map of Europe detailing the areas boats tend to land in.
Marked in red are what it describes as "detention/reception/screening sites".
On the back page are photographs of sun-drenched Greek islands, the main port on Lesbos, Mitilini, and a smiling man alongside the caption: "When I arrived at the shores of Mitilini I came to understand that I am no child anymore."
W2eu's website says "We welcome all travelers on their difficult trip and wish you all a good journey - because freedom of movement is everybody's right!".
It goes on to say they aim to offer contacts and counselling to refugees and migrants: "At the outer borders of Europe, people are refused entry, they are imprisoned and deported.
"Nevertheless people are coming. W2eu.info is supporting you who come to Europe in your struggle for a better life".

Sky, will you do some real investigating and show people that this mass invasion of Europe is being fueled by the Hungarian-American billionaire George Soros? A person followed the trail back from these booklets through the companies and donors listed and it led right to his Left wing organisation, the Open Society Foundations. Soros is paying for a lot of this mass migration from Africa and Asia into Europe and our Governments must do something to stop him.

Commentary:
It should be easy to understand,even for non-mariners. When the boat is loaded over it´s capacity,they ALL drown.
i.e. Europe is now saturated with immigrants and have exceeded their capacity and is facing a total chaos and breakdown,unless something very drastic is done to stop the flow at our outer borders.
Urgent information must be distributed by press and TV throughout the African continent as well as the Middle-East that Europe now IS CLOSED and no further immigrants will be accepted.
Are you aware that the ´global elite´ has been doing their utmost to whip up this immigration storm with the spreading of booklets on how to enter Europe? The evil Mr George Soros of the Illuminati is guilty of this,in order to destroy the European cohesion and culture in preparation for their New World Order. (NWO) consisting of a low order,classless society of slaves .
If I was able to establish this as a fact by Googling internet over several years,trained government security agents should also have read the warning signs.
