"Mr President, immigration and asylum policy have to rest on a measure of public consent. Most people accept that there is bound to be a measure of net inward migration into Western developed countries, but they want a sense of roughly whom they are admitting and roughly in what numbers. In the field of asylum policy, above all, they feel they have lost that sense because it is increasingly determined by human rights codes, by judges and by unaccountable bureaucracies. There are all sorts of cases of people who plainly have entered many Member States illegally on forged documents, but are then allowed to remain as asylum seekers because of some interpretation, some interpretive and expansive view taken by judges.
I would go in completely the opposite direction: instead of harmonising asylum processes across the EU, I would give each Interior Minister or Home Secretary a discretionary right to admit 1 000 people every year to their Member State. I would not pretend that it was anything other than discretionary, but that would be a way, it seems to me, of bringing this policy back within the orbit of public opinion."@en1
