Forty years ago this month, the Schengen Agreement was signed—a bold vision for a Europe where citizens could travel freely without internal borders. Back then, it represented a hopeful step toward unity, prosperity, and liberty across the continent.
But four decades later, that same agreement—once a symbol of freedom—has become dangerously unbalanced.
While our elites in Brussels continue to celebrate it, ordinary Europeans are left to deal with its consequences: uncontrolled migration, rising crime, and a loss of control over who enters our homelands.

The Ideal vs. The Reality

Yes, the principle of free movement has brought real benefits. It made business easier, holidays simpler, and personal connections across countries more common.
But what good is freedom of movement if it leaves us vulnerable?
Schengen was supposed to erase internal borders, not common sense.

Today, Europe’s external borders are little more than lines on a map. Thousands cross them every day—many without documents, background checks, or any idea where they’ll end up.

And yet Ursula von der Leyen, along with Brussels, keeps lecturing us on “solidarity” and “sharing the burden.” We don’t need more quotas—we need control.

Europe’s Open Door: A Gateway for Chaos

Since the 2015 migration crisis, the cracks have become impossible to ignore. Open routes for law-abiding citizens have been exploited by smugglers, traffickers, and terrorists. Asylum systems remain fragmented, and Member States are paralyzed by red tape and top-down mandates from the European Commission.
The result? Soaring insecurity in towns and cities. Pressure on schools, hospitals, and housing. A growing sense among Europeans that they’re being left behind by technocrats who don’t understand—or care about—the daily realities on the ground.

A System Built to Fail: Time for Real Border Protection

Let’s be blunt: Frontex has failed. It’s underfunded, understaffed, and more focused on humanitarian image-building than on protecting Europe’s borders. What we need is a real European border force—with teeth. A federal guard with serious resources, clear rules of engagement, and a single mission: protect Europe’s external borders.
If Brussels won’t fix it, then it’s time for us, as European citizens, to take matters into our own hands!

Freedom Without Security is an Illusion

There is no strong Europe without strong borders. Schengen, as it stands today, has become a double-edged sword—one that cuts deeper with every year of inaction.
If we want to preserve the right to move freely within Europe, we must first take back control of who enters from outside.

No more lectures from bureaucrats. No more blind faith in broken systems.
Forty years on, it’s not about reforming Schengen—it’s about establishing a European federal border guard and coast guard force. Our safety, our identity, and our way of life depend on it.

Let’s make Europe secure again
