lpv:translated text	"Mr President, migration has taken place throughout human history. It has been one of the most fundamental driving forces of that history. When we speak of migration between countries, we are therefore addressing quite fundamental questions, existential questions of human freedom. Do people not have the right to choose where in the world they want to live? None of this is actually up for discussion here. The modern welfare state is irreconcilable with free immigration and hard to reconcile with more extensive migration in general because of different standards of living. Immigration as a means of rejuvenating our own populations is practically dead in the water according to research. Immigration by family members has very minor effects on the demographic structure. It would require 50-70% of all the people in a country to be immigrants if we were to rejuvenate the population of a country such as Japan. Brain drain is a major problem for many developing countries. Here it is effectively proposed that we should rob other countries of their educated populations. A new approach is needed."@en1
