EU admits it ‘didn’t have control’ on migration as bloc rushes crackdown ahead of new rules

The European Union is tightening migration controls ahead of new asylum rules set to take effect in June, with a focus on deporting migrants who are ordered to leave. The EU has struggled to deport most migrants, with only about one-quarter to one-third actually being returned. European Commissioner for Internal Affairs and Migration Magnus Brunner says the bloc is working to get control back.
