"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to express my condolences with regard to the illegal immigrants who have died, as well as my solidarity with the local authorities and people of those countries, cities and regions on the borders of Europe who are affected by immigration on a day-to-day basis. To stop the invasion we need to remove the illusion that it is possible to enter Europe illegally and either to remain illegally or even to have one’s situation regularised.
Espousing solidarity and the obligation to provide hospitality, persisting in the demand that privileges be given to those who are not citizens of Europe, instead of defending the rights and social guarantees of European taxpayers, is an absurd attitude which is very unfair and is also complicit with the slave traders and in the tragic consequences of journeys of doomed hope.
I thank Mr Zapatero and his socialist government for having demonstrated to other fellow Members and other governments that it is an obligation of those in power to ensure the legality and welfare of those under their administration. I thank you, my fellow Members, if you are finally aware that it is necessary to defend one’s own country against illegitimate invasion. Thank you for standing up for those values of legality and public order to which we all, and MEPs
attach great importance and to which we must all be subject."@en1
