"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, enough of all this political hypocrisy. The right of asylum and immigration where similar types of civilisation are concerned is not the problem. The question essentially concerns immigration from another civilisation and this benefits no one.
Immigration by job seekers is a double injustice: it robs the country of origin of the skills that it has paid for, while in the host country it drags the labour market down and takes job opportunities from the locally unemployed.
Immigration by benefit seekers is a mistake on two counts: it uproots poor people, hypnotised by the lure of the Western world, while in the host country it destabilises the social budgets that have been created and can only survive within the limited and protective context of the nation.
This means that, contrary to what was written on the walls of the Members’ restaurant in Brussels a month ago, the European Union does not need immigration. In fact quite the reverse: what Europe needs is a proper family and demographic policy, sovereign cooperation between nations and frontiers, not Frontex. The world needs to understand, for one thing, that peace does not come through immigration but through self-reliant development and, for another, that real proletarianisation sets in when people lose their cultural roots."@en1
