EU Continues Mass Immigration after Manchester: Why?
What impact do terrorist attacks have on European Immigration policy? Despite the massive growth of what is labeled the 'far' right, why doesn't the EU call for massive reforms to its immigration policies?
What motivates the European Union?
I attempt analysis of these questions soberly. What do I mean soberly?
A conspiracy theorist approaches analysis from the perspective of 'cui bono?' or 'who benefits?' They assume without evidence its always an 'inside job' because war benefits those who profit on war. They suck.
An apologist approaches analysis from an 'appearance of morality' perspective. For them, the monsters who slaughtered children in Manchester are presumed to be motivated by Western foreign policy and western racism. We don't yet know who did the attack, but these people are already certain that racism and drones are the reason. These people also suck.
A sober analysis takes power, realpolitik, geopolitical strategy, ideology, funding, and various data and runs them through a scientific style process of hypothesis and research and conclusion.
So back to immigration and the ultimate question: Why won't the EU effectively stop mass islamic immigration?
It can't be that the EU politicians want mass islamic immigration because they're getting more supporters. On the ground, their mind-share is rapidly decreasing as right wing groups grow their memberships. The conspiracy theory model is out, they're not just being political.
It can't be that they really care about Muslims, they seem very willing to sell arms, drop bombs, and otherwise cause harm to muslims abroad.
Are they here to prop up the debt of social programs? To do the jobs Europeans won't do? No and no. They are a net drain on the welfare systems and Europeans were doing those jobs only a few decades ago without them; yes many businesses need cheap labor but they most importantly need a stable society to truly flourish.
So what it is? Why do they not reform the massive islamic immigration?
Its called the European Project. A hybridized multi-ethnic American style European federalism. An unelected, permanent deep-state hovering above Europe. This project requires a new European identity. Muslim immigrants have absolutely no sense of identity with their host nations or old European identity. They pejoratively and persistently attack old European values. They themselves are a massive block of humans who depend on the New European identity to retain the benefits of living in Europe (such as welfare, freedoms, etc).
The project isn't fantasy, the EU is full of people who write about it and talk about it, often to small crowds of bureaucrats. Its not a mystery either, I am not the first person to make this argument.
Let me put it simply: This new European project is inherently hostile to old European values by its vary nature. And by that nature, will ally itself with other forces that are equally or even more hostile to old Europeans. These soft belly bureaucrats couldn't muster a fighting force from their own ranks to purge and terrorize a population: so they imported one.
The attacker in this case was born and raised in Manchester.

The rest of your post is kind of a non-sequitur as it doesn't have much to do with the attack. The current wave of immigration is just a response to a humanitarian crisis. To attribute ulterior and malicious motives to it is make a leap to a platform that isn't there. What exactly are the "old European values" that are being replaced? What are the new values that are being ushered in?
I'm having trouble finding an estimate for the number of migrants that have arrived in EU countries, so I'll go off this:
http://www.pewglobal.org/2016/08/02/number-of-refugees-to-europe-surges-to-record-1-3-million-in-2015/
That graph shows about 3 million arriving from 2010-2015, so lets say another million and half arrived in 2016, bringing the total to 4.5 million. The EU has a population total of 743 million people. This means that the current migration wave has brought in 0.6% of the EU population. On top of that, there is an overall single digit percentage of Muslims (native or migrant) that live in the EU. In 2012 this was at 2%.

So all in all, I think the claim you're making is a stretch, and requires far more evidence to back it up than you've provided here.
There are over 44 million known Muslims (not 4.5), and millions more unregistered. That is closer to 6%. In some major cities, that number climbs above the majority. The crime rates, most of the data is heavily censored in Europe, is astonishing. They commit over 90% of cases of child rape, just for one example. That is to say, if you dodo birds who can't be bothered to find a true fact keep selling out your people to this false god of multiculturalism didn't exist, CHILD RAPE WOULD BE REDUCED BY 90%.
There is definitely more evidence required for my claim, but it requires you to actually listen to what the bureaucrats in Brussels are talking about... I doubt you can even name the president of the European Union, most Europeans can't.
The 4.5 million was in regards to the number that have arrived in the current wave stemming from the Syrian civil war, not the current total Muslim population.

I have to say, it is quite sad how far apart our thinking is... I can make tons of predictions about it. If you're European, you're middle to upper middle class; likely have a college education, etc. Maybe I'm wrong, but its likely.
While your average person is wondering how they could let this mass immigration continue, you can't even find a problem. Its remarkable how disconnected you are from your countrymen and its people. Its hard for us to even communicate, you think there are only 4.5 million muslims in all of Europe, you don't realize London's largest demographic is Islamic, so its hard to converse. I'm thinking you cant even possibly be European now that I think about it, how can you not know all this?
As I said in my other reply, the 4.5 million number I gave was the number that have migrated during this current migrant crisis.
London is 12% Islamic, so no, it is not the largest demographic. Where did you come up with that?
