The EU itself can and will break over this unless a long-term solution apt to keep social peace is found. All countries east of Germany, most prominently Poland and Hungary, will never take in African migrants. Simply won’t happen, they’d rather leave before being strong-armed into compliance. Leaving the EU is not even unthinkable for many Germans, anymore.
Yeah sure. The Poland that is receiving 10 billion € more from the Eu than it pays every year is going to leave over that. And then all the polish people working in other EU countries and all the factory workers, whose livelihood depends on exporting goods to other EU countries clapped.
You are delusional.
Of course Poland won’t leave free money on the table. But they will only stay as long as they can guarantee to stay culturally homogenous. On the contrary, it’s delusional to believe that a substantial number of Polish people would ever be fine with Warsaw having a demographic like Berlin or Hamburg.
They will fight off black folks and Muslims tooth and nail.
Hungary leaving would actually be a benefit to the EU since having a dictator inside the EU is more of a problem than Hungary provides as a benefit.
Anyone who seriously considers leaving the EU just has to look at Britain to see what a disaster of an idea that turned out to be.

Except that we don't have to wait for many hours to go across the border, we can order most products within a day, even if they aren't shipped from our own country, our food doesn't rot before it reaches its destination if we try to export it, our manufacturers aren't closing down because their supply chain is disrupted,...
