The French Prime Minister has warned European leaders about saying that refugees will be “welcome” in Europe, because in just seconds their message will be “shared on smartphones in the refugee camps of Libya.”

He said that Europe would likely become “totally destabilized” if it took in all refugees fleeing war-torn Iraq and Syria
