Former MI6 head Richard Dearlove has said Europe faces a "populist uprising" if it is unable to show its citizens it can control the migrant crisis.
He was speaking on the BBC's World on the Move day on migration issues.
Mr Dearlove also warned against offering visa-free travel to Turkish nationals, describing the move as like storing gasoline near a fire.
Earlier, UN special envoy Angelina Jolie Pitt warned the humanitarian system for refugees was breaking down.

Mr Dearlove said the numbers of immigrants coming into Europe over the next five years could run into millions. The crisis could reshape the continent's geopolitical landscape, he said.
"If Europe cannot act together to persuade a significant majority of its citizens that it can gain control of its migratory crisis then the EU will find itself at the mercy of a populist uprising, which is already stirring" he added.

He's right, it's quite obvious to those who want to see what's happening. Of course the self righteous great and the good who're wealthy enough to insulate themselves from the problem will do just that. It'll be ordinary people who pay the real price.
