"Madam President, visa facilitation and visa liberalisation are undoubtedly intended to be favourable terms. They are always defended on the grounds that they have nothing to do with immigration and everything to do with education and tourism – two more favourable terms. You can call me a cynic, but students do not always come to study and tourists do not always visit for a limited period. They sometimes come to the EU in order to work and to live. The idea that people are always truthful about their intentions is not borne out from experience. In the present crisis, jobs are scarce – especially unskilled jobs – and the demand for housing accommodation always exceeds supply. The jobs that illegal migrants fill are often jobs that could be filled by citizens of Member States and the conditions and pay are frequently below the minimum. We must not even pretend that turning a blind eye to illegal migration is an act of generosity. It leads to poverty wage rates, unsafe conditions, exploitation and abuse."@en1
