lpv:translated text	"I should like to use this two-minute speech on the important issue of immigration, which in view of its multi-faceted nature would require a great deal longer, to call for the following: An end to repressive, securitarian policies that criminalise immigrants, who after all are just men and women looking for a job and a decent life; The closure of immigrant detention centres and an end to the inhuman policy of deportation; The fight against traffickers in human beings and their accomplices to be stepped up; The fight against xenophobia and racism, and against all policies and distorted views feeding these attitudes, to be stepped up; The regularisation of immigrant workers, ensuring their labour and social rights, a crucial prerequisite for putting an end to the appalling phenomenon of exploitation; An effective immigration policy that specifically includes family reunification; A policy that reverses the current trend towards concentrating wealth in the hands of the few at the expense of the exploitation and poverty of millions and millions of human beings. I should also like to quote some statistics from the United Nations: The 691 richest people in the world have a net fortune equivalent to USD 2.2 billion, which is equal to the combined wealth of the 145 poorest countries. What is more, the 500 richest people have a combined income higher than that of the 416 million poorest. The 8 million richest people in the world have a net fortune equivalent to 80% of the GDP of all the countries in the world. In other words, what is needed is a policy that uses the human race’s ample resources, means and advances in science and technology to effectively resolve the problems facing the peoples of the world. This policy should be diametrically opposed to that of neoliberalism, militarism and failure to respect the sovereignty of peoples and countries."@en1
