"Madam President, initially, immigration in our countries was mainly labour immigration. It represented a mutually beneficial relationship between immigrant and host country. Then it became aid immigration, characterised by a period of compromise and uncertainty. Finally, in the past few years, it has really become human trafficking: clandestine workers, prostitutes and slaves, as we see in their hundreds in the streets of all our capital cities. This situation, where we are seeing both immigrants and host countries fall victim to uncontrolled immigration, is of course unacceptable. It is the result of thirty years of naïve optimism on the part of the European left, whose good intentions are equalled only by the disastrous results.
It is certainly a good thing that we are discussing the matter here, but allow me, in conclusion, to say that we must handle this with the greatest care. We cannot decide for people who will bear their family name or who will be their next-door neighbour. These things are of paramount importance and, if you go too far and take the risk of killing off the nations, you will also, and perhaps you will pay more attention to this, be taking the risk of killing off Europe."@en1
