Germany's border crackdown fuels EU divide on migration policy

More and more EU member states are moving away from the notion of a united EU front on migration, opting for individual solutions instead. Germany's recent decision to ramp up border controls at all nine of its borders has been criticised by EU countries like Poland, Austria, and Greece.With the European Commission warning that such actions should only be reserved for exceptional cases, what does this mean for the future of the EU's highly anticipated migration pact? Why are member states increasingly pursuing their own migration policies?We spoke with our Berlin-based politics reporter, Nick Alipour, to answer these pressing questions.
