  • The European Union has decided to suspend visa processing for Syrian refugees and halt new Syrian asylum applications following the collapse of the Assad regime.
  • Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Germany, Austria, and France have implemented or are set to implement measures to restrict Syrian immigration, suspending visa processing and halting asylum applications.
  • While the new policies will not change existing asylum decisions, over 47,000 pending Syrian asylum applications are expected to be affected.
  • The EU is implementing stricter border control measures, including fingerprinting and facial recognition for travelers from visa-exempt countries like the United States, starting in 2025.
  • The decision has sparked criticism from the United Nations Refugee Agency and calls for the deportation of Syrian refugees already in Europe, reflecting Europe's prioritization of national security over humanitarian aid.
The European Union has decided to close its borders to the deluge of Syrian refugees flooding into its territory following the fall of the dictatorial regime of Bashar al-Assad. Multiple nations have already suspended asylum visa processing for Syrians. Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Germany, Austria and most recently France have agreed to halt asylum applications for Syrian citizens, following the collapse of Assad's government in Damascus and his flight to Russia. This move is not unprecedented. In 2013, similar measures were taken when the last wave of jihadists took over Syria, yet it seems Europe never learned from its mistakes. Germany, in particular, has been lambasted for its open-door policy, which has resulted in over a million Syrians being granted asylum in the past few years. Over 47,000 pending Syrian asylum applications are expected to be affected by these new policies. And while the decision to halt new applications will have no impact on existing decisions, it's a step in the right direction. The ongoing civil war in Syria has been the justification for countless asylum claims, but now that the regime has fallen, many of those reasons for asylum are no longer valid. The United Nations Refugee Agency has criticized these measures, claiming that some EU countries are placing barriers to entry or even forcibly returning asylum-seekers. But let's be clear: this is not about human rights or humanitarian aid. It's about protecting our borders and our citizens. The EU has been plagued by terror threats and organized crime, much of which has been linked to these mass migrations. It's about time we took a stand. Some are even calling for the mass deportation of Syrian refugees already in Europe. Hesse's Interior Minister Roman Poseck emphasized the importance of sending these refugees back to their homeland, either voluntarily or through deportations. "Our safety must be a priority here," he declared. It's a sentiment that many across Europe can get behind. Meanwhile, American President-elect Donald Trump made it abundantly clear that the situation in Syria is "not our fight." Trump's foreign policy stance appears to be in line with the Monroe Doctrine, emphasizing that the United States should stay out of Middle Eastern conflicts. It's a refreshing change from the interventionist approach of past administrations and one that aligns with the sentiments of many European leaders.

EU to roll out fingerprinting and facial recognition for travelers from visa-exempt countries

But the EU is not just tightening its borders in response to the crises in Syria; they're also implementing stricter measures for travelers from visa-exempt countries like the United States. Beginning in 2025, all travelers entering the EU will need to undergo fingerprinting and facial recognition imaging under the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) Entry/Exit System (EES). This marks the end of the passport stamp era and ushers in a new age of digital border control. The new system will be a significant shift for travelers. Before this, American visitors could enter EU countries simply with a passport. Now, they'll have to pay a €7 ($7.35) fee for an ETIAS travel authorization, valid for up to three years. The system is expected to affect some 1.4 billion travelers from visa-exempt countries, a move that's bound to ruffle some feathers but is ultimately in the interest of national security. The EES will replace passport stamps with digital checks, collecting biometric data such as fingerprints and facial images from travelers. Even children under 12 will be subject to fingerprinting, albeit not as comprehensively as adults. This new system, which will be phased in over six months starting in 2025, represents a significant step towards better border control and security. OpenBorders.news contains stories similar to this.
