"They will pass"

Oh they will will they?

So to recap, you're in a thread that I started with "Europe enjoys free borders" and now you've gone all the way to "well actually if a country left the EU and Schengen and that country had American style executive orders and not a robust legal system and then instated a xenophobic check on people then yes, I would be correct in backing up the guy who explicitly said Western Europeans get treated differently, because these non-Europeans would be subjected to checks."

And you say you're not moving the goalposts of your argument? Interesting.

How old do I think you are? Mentally around 18-20, clearly. I hope your physical age matches.

"Schengen is literally a EU initiative"

And you argued that my comment about the meaning of my comment, in this thread, started by my comment, was "irrelevant".

I couldn't care less if you actually said the words European Union.

I think you very much could. What I bet happened is you thought I had written "EU", which is why you used it specifically. Then when I pointed out I hadn't, you got flustered, because you're not accustomed to publicly admitting to mistakes.

"Some degree of improvement"

Rofl, thank for the giggles. Irony is enjoyable at this hour, after a few rums.

"I'm just going to block you and move on."

Ohno whatever will I do with my life if you don't want to talk to me because you have a hard time admitting to mistakes ohnooo.

You've not had an argument, at all. Europe still does enjoy open borders. We're not living in some fantasy future of yours where countries separate from the EU and Schengen and get far-right governments in total power.

So what is your argument exactly? "In a very specific hypothetical setting I came up with, non-Europeans coming into the Schengen area before having been able to apply for visas means Europe isn't 'Enjoying open borders'"?

Are you just mad that while you are European, you still don't have free movement like we do, because of Brexit?
