"European Union leaders agree on measures to alleviate migrant crisis"
Henry Chu (September 23, 2015)
The European Union has held an emergency summit meeting in Brussels, were they agreed on several actions in order to soften the blow of thousands of immigrants entering Europe at the same time. The Union set aside $1 Billion in order to improve refugee camps in the Middle East in order to deter immigrants from going to Europe. A contraversial plan was agreed to that involved resetlling 150,000 refugees already on the European continent by majority vote, much to the chagrin of some Eastern European countries like Slovakia. Most immigrants aim for wealthy countries like Germany and Scandinavia were there are more benefits and better conditions for them. The refugee crisis has created tension and problems as border control measures have begun to take place in Germany and Hungary in an attempt to control the flow of refugees, creating a chaotic situation across the continent.
