Statewatch | EU prepares to give US direct access to police and immigration databases
www.statewatch.orgThe massive increase in violent immigration raids, detention and deportation underway in the US has put off many people from visiting the country. Soon there may be yet another reason to think twice about taking a trip to the “land of the free”: US immigration and law enforcement agencies could be given the power to search European databases, to identify people posing “a threat to US security.”

The EU is planning to strike a deal with the US that would let the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies search European databases to identify people posing “a threat to US security,” according to a proposal published by the European Commission at the end of July.

yup, yall became full us vassals.
welcome to the club, get ready for austerity so us corporations can thrive.
austerity never begets prosperity. all it really does is temporarily paper over the losses of a waning empire. then you run out of labor to extract and shit hits the fan.
and with the amount of places now doing it, it seems shit is tryna hit the fan already.
Europe has been American vassals for a long time already, this wouldn’t be happening otherwise.
