European Council President Donald Tusk on Thursday pleaded with “ economic migrants” not to make the perilous journey to Europe, ahead of an EU summit on migration.

“No European country will be a transit country,” Tusk pledged, meaning that anyone who makes a sea crossing to southern Europe with the intention of reaching the prosperous north will have their hopes dashed.
