Real Immigrant Phobia

Fears of wild immigrants hiding in the forests of the Ukraine have led to a large upswing in gun purchases by Germans, Italians and Austrians for fear that the forest-dwellers will descend on them to commit crimes. The trusty old Baltic Times describes the issue in the article linked to this post.

The Schengen Agreement abolishes systematic border controls between the participating countries, according to Wikipedia. Will the ability to travel between European countries really lead to a roving mass of crime between the Ukraine, Italy, Austria and Germany?

The idea is so laughable it makes Pat Buchanan look rational.
