Your question is exactly why the EU did not admit Turkey into the union.

It would not have been able to handle the people migration that would have ensued.

Turkey was actually going through the process of joining the EU. It was Turkey that stopped the process, not the EU.

Besides, Turkish immigrants are very unlikely to cause real issues in the EU. I will concede that they may cause some imaginary problem and upset some people.

EU is about to deal with this too.

We have a globally inflated economy.

We're already dealing with it. In Greece gas prices have reached €2,3/litre. Inflation is north of 10% and rising. Electricity costs have more than doubled and caused a lot of political stir. If this goes on for months it's more than likely there would be civic unrest.

The gas price was 2€ a few days ago, the FDP introduced a tax cut on gasoline and the price is still 2€. Not very amusing.

I suppose GP also meant to say the EU wouldn’t be able to handle the emigration on top off the current situation.
