"We welcome the rejection, by a slim, right-wing majority, of the Evans report on asylum. In paragraph 1 of the resolution, it called on ‘the Commission and Member States to prioritise the construction of a common immigration policy in order to relieve pressure on the asylum system’. Thus, the first solution proposed by the left-wing Members of the House to reduce the number of bogus asylum seekers was to open up our borders more, and to take in such people as legal immigrants! The resolution continued in the same vein. In paragraph 3, the Commission was called upon to ensure that the ‘best practice’ is followed in the field of asylum which ‘will be based first and foremost and above all (take good note of that expression: above all) on ensuring Member States’ fulfilment of their international protection obligations’. Therefore, for the left-wing Members of this House, the main objective is to take in individuals who are persecuted, regardless of their numbers. The Left is clearly and blatantly relegating to the background the objectives regarding domestic security and the balance of our societies."@en1
