Paris attacks must not change European Union refugee policy - Juncker

Poland's European Affairs Minister said in a on Saturday that his country would close its doors and will no longer accept any .

"I don't like it", Juncker reporters on the sidelines of the G20 leaders' meeting in Antalya, Turkey.

The Home Office told express.co.uk that the UK's commitment to grant asylum to 20,000 Syrian refugees until 2020 remains unchanged, and that there has been no indication so far that the British government will waver in that commitment.

Right-wing European politicians have highlighted the discovery of a Syrian passport near the body of one of the suicide bombers and that the holder of the document, Ahmed Almuhamed, had entered the EU in a group of 69 refugees after their boat sank off the Greek Island of Leros last month as a cause for concern.

According to a report by US online magazine Slate, members of the EU's resettlement plan are not legally allowed to restrict access to refugees. Juncker urged them "to be serious about this, and not to give in (to) these basic reactions".

Within hours of the attacks, CSU leaders were exploiting them as part of their effort to undercut Chancellor Angela Merkel and force her to slow the influx of migrants from the Middle East. "That's not American, that's not who we are".

Konrad Szymansk, Poland's European affairs minister, said Saturday the country will not take its share of refugees and migrants without "security guarantees", but did not say what such guarantees would entail. French President François Hollande's unprecedented move to restrict French borders Friday implied there was reason to believe the threat originated outside of France, though on Saturday he said the act may have been planned overseas but "had complicity from the inside, which the investigation will help establish". The party ran on the pledge that it would refuse the entry of refugees into Poland.

The Paris attacks are transforming Europe's migration crisis into a security debate, spurring calls for a clampdown on free movement across borders, and putting proponents of an open door for refugees on the defensive. "Poland must retain complete control of its borders, as well as its asylum and migration policy", Szymanski insisted on the site.

"After the tragic events of Paris we do not see the political possibility of respecting them", he added.

But that same survey, which was conducted before the summer's tide of refugees, also found a spike in public fears over security. Days before the attacks in Paris, the president of the European Council that, without "effective" border control, this system "will not survive".

France is reeling from a series of deadly attacks in Paris that left at least 127 people dead and scores more injured.

"President Obama and Hillary Clinton's idea that we should bring tens of thousands of Syrian Muslim refugees to America, it is nothing less than lunacy", Sen. "The borders should encircle Europe from the outside".

Sensitive to the growing misgivings among many Germans about how their country can cope with the sheer number of migrants, the government recently agreed on measures to quickly process those who stand little chance of getting asylum, vetting more people at the border, and distributing migrants across Europe.
