Oh but don’t worry, the EU will ”give” E 6 000 for each migrant, the very same money member states have filled its coffers with.

EU’s executive body’s plans also include proposals to beef up European border controls, including a military action plan to stop people smugglers and improving ways for qualified immigrant workers to get jobs.
The new mandatory quota system is designed to see most EU member states allocated a set number of asylum seekers based on their population size, economic growth and former engagement with asylum seekers.
It is intended to apply to Syrians and Eritreans who arrived in Italy after April 15th and are deemed to be in need of protection. A further 16,000 migrants who arrived in Greece from the two countries should also be relocated, the EU said.
If the scheme is successful, the 40,000 chosen refugees will over the next two years be relocated to 23 countries named by Brussels and member states will be given €6,000 (55,580 kronor, $6,525) for each person they take in.
Sweden — which already takes in more asylum seekers per capita than any other EU nation — has been asked to welcome 821 new migrants from Italy, 3.4 percent of the total, alongside 548 from Greece.
