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.

the whole middle east is a mess. and it doesnt end there. one cant simply reduce the issue to "the IS". simply taking in refugee wave after refugee wave after repeatedly going in fighting one terror organisation after another wont solve anything. people need to get their shit together.

I agree, the west created a great deal of instability in the region. Not actually sure there a way short of turning the whole area into a wasteland to fix it now. BUT, in the meantime someone does have to deal with the expanding threat that is IS. It won't fix the region or solve all problems, but it does need to be dealt with.
