It'll put even more people on the 'Nay' side that's for sure. People want something to blame and the refugee crisis is such an easy target right now. I just hope that people aren't naive enough to believe that closing down borders will protect us from ISIS in any way.

Heck one could even argue that closing the boarders will have far reaching economic conciquences as it could eliminate the whole backpack across europe tourist industry as it would become significantly harder to do that with closed boarders. Would also affect how delivery would work between EU countries which could also hurt the economy but this claim is pure speculation.

You are misunderstanding the term closing borders. It doesn't mean close it for everyone, it means close it for immigration/refugee seekers. Closing borders would not affect deliveries and maybe be a minor inconvenience at most on tourism as checks would be ramped up.

Sadly the people most affected by this will be the legitimate refugees. With luck though this will finally give Europe, US, Russia the impetus to finally put an end to this IS mess.
