29. I don't blame him for wanting to withdraw from Schengen.

I live in the Schengen area. It WOULD have been a good idea IF the countries on Schengen borders
would keep their word on exterior borders. As it is, countries like Germany, France, Belgium, Netherlands,
Even now Switzerland are overrrun with untraceable hoardes of organized crime bands from Serbia,
Albania, Romania and Bulgaria. We catch some of them, but probably 90% go undetected, and when
they do get caught, they fall under the rather lenient justice systems of the countries where they
commit their crimes, and are often free within hours. This enrages the local populations and is pure
nourishment for extremist rightist parties that feed on the frustration and love every minute of it.
I do not want to see a resurgence of the Vlaamse Blok, German neo-Nazis, or another French election
whereLe Pen's party can get nearly 20% in the first round. When THAT happens, something is wrong.
