More Like Europe – Part II

Many in the US (mostly on the left, politically) think this would be a much better country if only we would act more like Europe. With that in mind, I am enjoying watching Europe's response to their current immigration crisis.

Libya has criticised EU proposals to authorise the use of force against people smugglers taking migrants across the Mediterranean to Europe. 

The Libyan ambassador to the UN told the BBC that the EU's intentions were unclear and "very worrying". 

The EU is seeking a UN mandate to allow military action to destroy or halt smugglers' boats in Libyan waters.

I guess air strikes against coyotes in the Sonoran Desert and strafing the Rio Grande might make us more like Europe. How do you think that would go over? (I am definitely not advocating anything of the kind).

The EU is also considering a cap on the number of amnesty-seekers they will accept each year, as well as rules requiring each country to accept a portion of the continent's immigrants based on population and GDP. Britain has said, “No way, Jose,” or something like that.

Note: If you're interested, Part I is here.
