"In the light of the recent dramatic events of 11 September 2001 in the United States of America, the fight against illegal immigration into Europe should, more than ever, be our chief concern. It is time to stop letting all these illegal immigrants in and put an end to the free movement of traffickers and terrorists within the Union. We must show some instinct for survival. Terrorist cells have recently been identified in various Member States of the Union, in particular in France and Belgium, among illegal immigrants. Since the opening up of borders and the Schengen Agreements, some immigrant communities have systematically organised themselves into networks of religious and ethnic infiltration, and as a result they are a fertile breeding ground for terrorism, and also for delinquency, trafficking and violent crimes of all kinds. Yet what, in the face of all this, is Brussels’ policy? It closes its eyes and ignores the evil. At the very best it feebly condemns the constant increase in international crime. So what are its solutions? Encourage immigration, legalise illegal immigrants, give identity papers to all those who have entered our territory illegally, create and allow the creation of no-go areas where the law does not apply, such as the Sangatte Centre in France. Broadly speaking, that is what is being preached by the report that we are voting on. It tells us that we must populate Europe because Europe has a population deficit. Europe needs manpower, so in order to meet that need we must have a global and voluntary immigration policy. The National Front have for years been constantly denouncing this irresponsible and suicidal policy coming from Brussels. The fight against illegal immigration must clearly be based on the principle of zero tolerance. Illegal immigrants must be sent back to their country of origin. Our borders must be re-established, because proof has finally been given to all signatory parties to the Schengen Agreements that those borders are an essential element in the security of our countries. Therefore, before committing ourselves to a Community immigration policy, let us start by establishing a Community security policy."@en1
