In 2020, the world witnessed Brexit happening. Other than the sovereignty issues, the economy, and anti-establishment politics, the loose immigration policies of the EU became one of the most important factors for Brexit.

The new European Union made it much easier for citizens of one country to migrate to another. And Britain’s foreign-born population skyrocketed after it joined.

The Caribbean NATO could be a reality now!

Let us quote a few numbers here…

The UK foreign-born population doubled from 1993 to 2014, i.e. it rose from 4 million in 1994 to almost 8.5 million in 2014.

 

Immigration became the main reason for Brexit

Experts see two main forces driving this trend:

  1. In the mid-2000s, the EU expanded to include ex-communist countries, and people in those countries became poorer. Many of their residents moved to more prosperous countries, such as the United Kingdom.

 

  1. The financial crisis of 2008 struck some European countries particularly hard. When citizens of those countries were unable to find work in their native countries, they sought employment in other countries, such as the United Kingdom.

And this is what became the core reason for Brexit to happen.

Ausexit on the lines of Brexit

And the same immigration issue could possibly lead to Ausexit from the EU.

Recently, Austria decided to extend police control at its border mainly bordering Slovenia. And Slovenia is dismayed over Austria’s decision.

“We very much regret this move,” Slovenian Ambassador to Austria Aleksander Geržina told the Austrian Press Agency (APA) this weekend, noting that crossing the border freely was very important for people and the businesses on both sides of the border.

Anyways, the EU has an open border policy and Austria is worried that its open border could possibly lead to illegal immigration, terror threats, and human trafficking.

“Illegal migration” is as much of a threat as climate change, the former chancellor of Austria, Sebastian Kurz, said in an interview with the Financial Times.

“It is important to protect our environment but it is also important to decide who will live in our country,” he said. ”If we do not fight against illegal migration, Europe will not be the same in five, 10, or 20 years.

If we do not control who is allowed to come, we will not be able to live in security … and we will not be able to keep our identity.”

Even the then Interior Minister and the present chancellor of Austria, Karl Nehammer, said that Austria will stop any migrants attempting to rush its border if measures to halt them in Greece and through the Balkans fail.

And now, despite a recent EU Court of Justice judgment that Austria’s basis for implementing border controls has been unsatisfactory since 2017, Austria has decided to expand police control at its borders, indicating that Austria would not sacrifice its security at any cost.

With this, Austria, enraged by the EU’s migrant-friendly policies, makes a strong case for ‘Ausexit’.
