European Union officials are openly acknowledging that the bloc lost control of migration enforcement over the past decade and are now scrambling to reverse course as new asylum and deportation rules prepare to take effect next June.
European Commissioner for Internal Affairs and Migration Magnus Brunner said Tuesday that Europe is trying to “get control back” after years of weak border enforcement and failed deportation efforts that left millions of Europeans frustrated and fueled political backlash across the continent.
“Ten years ago, we didn’t have a system,” Brunner told reporters in Washington, D.C. “We didn’t have control over what is happening and who would come into the European Union and who would have to leave again.”
