Smugglers were arrested in as many as 9 Europeans countries. One of the organizers brought in around 280 illegal people from such countries as China, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Iraq and Turkey. This begs the question, how many terrorists do you think they smuggled in among regular people ? There is definitely something is going on in the background, i won’t surprised if something blows up in next 6 months.
The suspects, believed to belong to a network of Iraqi nationals, were detained in nine European countries.European police agency Europol said it was one of the largest co-ordinated operations against people smuggling.
The migrants may have paid up to $18,500 (12,000 euros; £9,400) each to be taken from Iraq to countries within the European Union.

Are they scared to say directly that no more illegal muslims in our countries? That is a possibility, otherwise “youth” will start setting cars ablaze and breaking windows.
PARIS, June 18 — The European Parliament approved new rules Wednesday designed to standardize the dramatic differences in member countries’ treatment of illegal immigrants, whose presence is one of the most heated political issues in Europe today.
The measure, which would allow countries to jail illegal immigrants for as long as 18 months pending deportation, was decried by human rights organizations as promoting excessive detention. Supporters defended it as providing greater protections for the foreigners in countries that now permit indefinite detentions and grant detainees few legal rights.

In recent weeks, Romanian immigrants have become a special target of arrest and vigilante violence in Italy.
