They might think this is going to happen, but it is probably not going to happen.
Unless they can bypass the European Court of Human Rights, which has been impossible for anyone to do thus far, there is no way to get “migrants” out of your country once they’re in.
Definitely, they can’t ship them back to Syria, which is about to be way worse than it was in October.
Austria is reviewing the status of Syrian refugees who arrived less than five years ago, Chancellor Karl Nehammer said on Thursday after media reports that some had been notified by letter that they “no longer have to fear political persecution”.Nehammer, a conservative who is trying to form a new coalition government while under fire from the far right, pounced on the fall of Bashar al-Assad on Dec. 8, saying the same day that the security situation in Syria should be reviewed so as to allow deportations there.
Since then he and his caretaker government have clarified that their initial focus will be on voluntary deportations, with those volunteering to return home being offered 1,000 euros ($1,037). Austria is also among more than a dozen European countries to suspend the processing of Syrians’ asylum claims.
“Austria … is now reviewing the eligibility for protection of Syrians who have been in the country for less than 5 years,” Nehammer said on X.

Austrian law allows the authorities to revoke a refugee’s status in some cases within five years of it being granted. Syrians are the biggest group of asylum seekers in Austria.Nehammer’s People’s Party (OVP) has made a hard line on immigration one of its hallmarks, to the point that the far-right Freedom Party (FPO) has accused it of stealing its ideas.

The United Nations’ refugee agency said it was “clearly premature” to initiate such proceedings.
“They should only be initiated if the situation in the country of origin has fundamentally changed and a safe, permanent return would in fact be possible for those affected,” the UNHCR’s Austria chief Christoph Pinter said in a statement.
“That is definitely not the case at the moment.”
That’s the UN.
But the ECHR makes all of these decisions, and there is no way around it within the current framework of “EU law.”
Obviously, I don’t support refugees and think it is better that they should just die, but insofar as the concept is valid, it’s going to be a lot more valid in a few months when the Syrian “rebel alliance” breaks at the seams.
Think of it for a minute: if overthrowing Assad meant the refugees are going back, the EU would never have supported overthrowing Assad.
