No, this has nothing to do with the Minuteman and hunting down those pesky Mexicans trying to find jobs in the USA.
Nor has to do with the waves of Subsaharian immigrants crashing against the cyclonic fences of the colonialist Spanish outposts of Ceuta and Melilla.
But it does have to do with the Basques, the Catalonians and the border between Spain and France. And is quite simple, if Euskal Herria (including the BAC and Navarre) and Catalunya were to become free and independent, well, that border would change quite a bit, mostly because there is parts of Euskal Herria and parts of Catalunya that are today under French occupation.
One can only imagine what the big wigs discuss in meetings like these.
Something tells me that the issue of easing the right of Basque and Catalonians to achieving their self determination is not one of the top priorities. They talk about one Europe and yet, they keep these two nations sojusgated and divided.
Will Europe ever see this discrepancy?
