lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I am, in fact, perpetually shocked and surprised to see so little critical thinking applied to immigration in this House, which is nevertheless said to represent the peoples of Europe. Immigration which has, after all, brought with it so much alienation, so much uprootedness and also so much crime in recent decades, the real costs of which should be considered huge for the societies of most of our European countries. Now, obviously, I am not going to be foolish enough to draw, with no valid reason, any links between what is known as ‘the blue card’ for highly skilled immigrants and the massive non-European immigration of the past decades. However, I do have, and will continue to have, the greatest misgivings about the official European policy, which have today, once again, been confirmed. That policy continues, for ideological reasons, to favour mass immigration, despite the real situation on the ground and the dramatic unemployment figures, for example, when this flies in the face of all common sense. As far as what we call ‘legal immigration’, or even the immigration of the highly skilled, is concerned: what is the situation with the legal and semi-legal immigration which directly results from the immigration of those we designate ‘highly skilled’? Who can guarantee that those people will leave when the highly skilled person leaves, even if they desire to do so? I still have major issues with an economic policy which is reliant on immigration, which, in turn, causes us constant problems. This kind of policy has proved to be totally disastrous in the past and we ought to take lessons from that."@en1
