"A common immigration policy based on facilitating the opening up of legal immigration channels cannot receive our support. The policy should be the polar opposite of this.
This report is based, once again, on the dangerous recommendations of the Commission that appear in the latter’s Green Paper of 11 January 2005 devoted to economic migration. It is a report that puts the number of migrant workers that the EU will supposedly need by 2050 at 60 million and that accordingly stresses the need to open up channels for legal migration.
How can one fail to find it obscene that, in the midst of an economic, financial and social crisis, we are being recommended to open up our markets further to foreign workers, at a time when our national jobs are under threat and unemployment is raging?
In the midst of a crisis, what is needed, instead, is to apply economic and social protectionist measures and to reserve jobs, but social aid too, for nationals.
To conclude, this report is based on the false assumption that, by opening the floodgates for legal immigration, illegal immigration will fall considerably or disappear altogether. We know that no such thing will happen and that, on the contrary, legal immigration is the forerunner of full-scale immigration."@en1
