EU: (Last one)Greece & EU's other little known struggle.

Stated before that it will become apparent in 9-15 months that Greece will default and either leave or be asked to leave the EU in 18-24months.
And that she is becoming backed into a corner.

Below are two TIME articles illustrating another little known catalyst for this event to occur.
(second article punctuates the dilemna)

*Greece has a population of 10Million / est 2Million immigrants.
(yep about 1/5 are immigrants: debated # of 750K - 2M)
*Greece has been the entry point for 85% (eighty-five) of illegal immigration to the EU for approximately 2 years now.
(Spain, Portugal, Italy have cracked down and Greece has become entry point from Turkey.)
*Once in Greece these immigrants "get stuck" here due to an EU law stating basically, return immigrants to point of entry, GREECE.

On top of financial woes, has to deal with this influx competing for jobs and all other social and economic woes associated with immigrants.
Keep in mind Greeces' population of only 10M.
