Poland says can not take migrants under European Union quotas without guarantees after

Instead, she said, the Schengen freedoms should be abolished and France's protected borders re-established.

"Without borders, neither protection nor security are possible", Ms. Le Pen said.

Fresh criticism came from Merkel's Bavarian allies following the Paris attacks.

A top European Union official says the bloc's refugee policy does not need to be overhauled in the wake of the Paris attacks and is urging world leaders not to start treating asylum-seekers as terrorists. With 10,000 migrants coming into the country every week, Sweden has the highest per-capita immigration in Europe.

"Do not confuse the perpetrators of criminal acts in Paris with the asylum seekers, with migrants who have good reason to knock on our doors; and do not confuse those who committed these atrocities with those who flee the philosophy and mentality that inspire acts that unfortunately we have seen in Paris".

The Hungarian prime minister said security measures will be tightened in light of the terror attacks in Paris and has declared Sunday as a national day of mourning.

The disaster will also put pressure on the German chancellor Angela Merkel, the foremost proponent of openness towards refugees, to shift position. Anti-immigrant movements and politicians such as Marine Le Pen in France and Donald Trump in the United States will seize the opportunity to create momentum against immigration and block border entry.

But the distribution idea now looks even harder to implement in the face of political doubts from many countries. Hundreds of thousands of migrants and refugees have pass... Critics said that it had become clearer than ever that the migrants from the Middle East represented a grave security threat. In September, Germany reimposed controls along its border with Austria. "Ms. Merkel's policy of opening the border for everyone from this region simply can not stand anymore".

European leaders on Friday offered Turkey, which is the temporary home of 2.2 million refugees, a three billion euro package for refugee camps.

She said: "Terrorism is so well organised that it doesn't have to risk the arduous refugee routes, and the sometimes life-threatening crossings at sea".

Mr Juncker said: "Those who organised these attacks, and those who carried them out, are exactly those who the refugees are fleeing".

"People's empathy for the fate of the refugees will increase", Mr. Hardt said in an interview. Hundreds of thousands of migrants and refugee...

PAP news agency quoted Waszczykowski as criticising the European Union's attempts to open its door to migrants fleeing the conflict in Syria as "a cul de sac". Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush said Sunday "we should focus our efforts as it relates to refugees on the Christians that are being slaughtered".
