You probably haven't heard much about it lately but it turns out Europe is suffering its own illegal immigration and refugee crisis, and officials in at least one country tell me it's near a breaking point.

Sunday on Full Measure, we go to Greece on an eye-opening trip to pluck refugees from the Aegean Sea. They pay human smugglers to make the dangerous trip on overcrowded rafts.
Unfortunately, once the refugees arrive, they learn that most of Europe has pulled in the welcome mat. That means they are stuck in Greece and Greece is stuck with them.
Greece is now nearing 100,000 refugees in more than 70 overcrowded camps. The immigration minister I interviewed told me that the rest of Europe isn't doing its part to help. Watch our cover story Sunday.
Also this week, Scott Thuman has an exclusive interview with the head of counterterrorism for the FBI as the U.S. faces an uptick in racially-motivated domestic terror attacks.
And Lisa Fletcher follows the money and learns big tech firms are giving lots of money to lobby members of Congress as the companies face scrutiny over privacy and monopoly concerns.
We promise original reporting that's off the narrative.

I have been regular viewer Full Measure since it began. For several weeks the web site comes up but no show is presented. Why is that happening? I see most of the shows on YouTube later but I get the feeling that the show is being sabotaged. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you.

Are you going to Full Measure.news? Unfortunately, sometimes you have to sit through a :15 whirly static screen. Hopefully that will be fixed now that we are done with summer reruns and posting segments on the site. I checked and everything works for me. Maybe try a different browser. Thank you.
Why should Europe feel any responsibility to foul its own nest with other people's problems? It's not like there never was a war in Europe's own history.
Whose fault is it that African countries have the world's highest birth rate? Europe has enough problems with its own unemployed people. Europe is doing its best to work towards a sustainable world by having fewer children, using renewable energy and so on. What is Africa doing about it?
The last thing our planet needs is a billion or even a million people from the South going into the North hungering for the very high consumption standard of living which is ruining our environment. It's just aggravating the global problem of overpopulation and overconsumption. It's crazy.
These young men are "economic refugees." "Political asylum" is a sheer scam. They are jobseekers plain and simple dreaming of a European lifestyle. We all have our daydreams, but the reality is that the European lifestyle isn't even sustainable for Europe's population, let alone for waves of migrants.
What a mess you will make if you let them in. Next they'll bring all their relatives,. In a matter of decades, Europe will wipe itself off the map.
