"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen Mrs Roure is calling for some particularly attractive reception conditions for asylum seekers: convivial, open accommodation centres – it is easier to vanish into thin air that way – widespread access to healthcare, including psychiatric care, to legal advice, to translators and interpreters, to training and even to jobs! She appears to have forgotten about the way in which immigrants themselves abuse applications for international protection in order to bypass national laws on foreigners entering and residing in our countries, when their true motives are social and economic. She also ‘forgets’ that they can lie about their origins and languages, and can destroy their papers and so on, so as not to be deported. She also appears to ‘forget’ that what she is demanding for these foreigners is often not accessible to our own fellow citizens, starting with decent housing, jobs and access to high-quality public services, particularly in areas in which, as in Mayotte, the tidal wave of immigration creates huge economic and social problems for the inhabitants. I can understand the distress and the dreams of migrants, but we do not have the scope and even less so the means to accommodate all those who are destitute in the world. This report is harmful, and its effects are perverse."@en1
