German Security Expert Sounds Warning on ‘Civil War’ Risk From Illegal Migrants and Leftist Enablers Resisting Deportation
by Oliver JJ Lane
The self-inflicted migrant crisis threatens to destroy the European Union, and illegal migrants, their enablers, and political activists will resist deportation efforts so hard it would plunge Germany into “civil war”, a security researcher has warned.
The ongoing migrant crisis is pulling the European political project apart because the Union has no answers to border control problems, this is driving political polarisation, and the crisis has been left to fester so long any attempt to claw the situation back will spiral into violence, a German newspaper has been told.
Former German Federal Police Captain Jan Solwyn, who has published books on his experience on the front line as a forward-deployed European “border police expert” during the European Migrant Crisis, and on the damage mass migration is doing to European society, told Die Welt that “European borders have become a political and social fault line… illegal migration has the potential to destroy the EU.”
Solwyn, who is now a security researcher and author at the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) in Tel Aviv, told the paper that enforcing the law and deporting illegal migrants is essential to protect Europe, its people, and even the European Union itself, but warned that to do so would be tough because migrants and their enablers would likely use violence to oppose such measures. In terms of actually deporting the hundreds of thousands of migrants in Germany, alone, who have been ordered to leave but decided to ignore these instructions, the security expert said the police would face fights with illegal migrants themselves, who “would do everything they can to stay in Germany”.
He went on to say the police and security services would also be bogged down in “dealing with very well-organized NGOs and private individuals who would engage in street battles with the riot police. We saw what happened in the US when ICE started arresting illegal immigrants. Then we’d have a civil war in major German cities.”
The former Federal Police officer went on to warn that Europe is vulnerable to a repeat of the 2015 migrant crisis, as little has changed to prevent migrants from remaining in the bloc once they reach EU territory.
