Presentation of the programme of the Spanish Presidency
Debate by VANHECKE Frank
on Crimes, Human migration, Illegal immigration, Illegal immigration to the United States, Immigration law, Social issues,
The statements by the Spanish Presidency on immigration, and border controls in particular, demonstrate a remarkable warm-and cold-blow simultaneously. In particular, the Spanish faith that such matters should be regulated at European level, it sounds very hollow when one realizes that Spain had just such a massive regularization of illegal aliens behind him, the more - let us say -- northern European countries may soon include the price paid without ever getting to say. It also struck me that the Spanish presidency remains an active advocate for immigration policy at a time of very serious economic crisis, which nobody knows how many millions of Europeans are unemployed, how many millions of Europeans are unemployed. What we really need are closed borders, stop immigration and a real natural economic aid to countries that need it. The further mass immigration advocates that you can only lead to massive problems.
