"Mr President, whatever the ostensible topic of debate in this House, the real objectives are first of all a steady incremental transfer of power from Member States to the centre, and, secondly, a dilution, not only of our national identities, but also of a more general European identity. The title ‘Europhile’ is most misleading.
The rights to family life, to marry and to found a family, taken from the European Convention, were not drafted to facilitate the colonisation of Europe by the Third World. The real objective of this directive is not to safeguard human rights; if it was, the EU would care about the peoples of Europe who lose the chance of a house, or a job or see the areas in which they live transformed beyond recognition.
These changes do not, of course, affect MEPs; they are doing rather well. A telling phrase in the wording of the question is: that Member States have been left with too much discretion. This directive and this question are about more power to the centre, so that we can have more immigration beyond the headline figure which is fed to the electorate. Is it desirable to reunify families? Yes, by reversing the process by which they became divided."@en1
