"Excuse me, Mr President, but I feel unwell here because of the shouting and the noise from the very large number of Members present, who are always attentive but this time chattering rather.
Well, I was on an aeroplane from Brussels going I do not know where. I saw many passengers in first class being served copious, tasty, delicious repasts: champagne, beautiful hostesses and stewards serving them, armchairs, comfort … A dream, Mr President. I approached them and asked them who they were to be travelling in such luxury on the plane. ‘Ah’ was the response, ‘we are illegal immigrants and we are on this plane because we are being sent back to where we came from. We are treated so well on the aeroplane, though, we like it so much, that we keep coming back and we keep being sent back to our country of origin.’
It was a dream, Mr President, because things are much less refined in reality; but it is good to take care of the comfort of illegal immigrants too when they are being returned by air to their state of origin."@en1
