"Mr President, at the core of the problems that we are concerned with here is the demographic imbalance in the world. Legalising illegal immigration will not solve any problems: managing immigration in accordance with a uniform set of rules even less so. Only assistance with development and democracy will help. The EU countries are so different that uniform rules are impossible to administer. In Denmark over half of all immigrants from non-western countries are unavailable to the labour market and those who are on the labour market experience high levels of unemployment. This is because the country has high minimum wages and high social benefits – so high, in fact, that few people in this Parliament can comprehend that Denmark quite simply cannot get people without qualifications onto the labour market, irrespective of the nationality of the person concerned and irrespective of an enormous financial support initiative.
The opposition in all Member States to increased immigration from foreign cultures should be enough to persuade the European Parliament to listen more to its electorate."@en1
