Immigration is a sign of economic vitality, and plays a role in bringing in active, resourceful people. Illegal immigration, on the other hand, is organised crime, which threatens the lives of applicants and feeds a parallel, inhumane labour market.
For this reason, the idea of extraordinary legalisation is a case of good intentions and a bad outcome. This is a small prize for illegal immigrants and a major triumph for smuggling rings.
We must accept the key issue of how much the market can take in, if we want immigration with a positive impact. This will only be achieved, however, with clear, practical rules that facilitate legal immigration and prevent illegal immigration, which is a Europe-wide problem. I should therefore like to take this opportunity to say that the element of protecting the external borders that we share must be taken on board when the armed forces are re-equipped.
Lastly, I wish to say that I do not believe that the solution lies simply in stepping up implementation of the law. The path of fighting unbridled immigration, poverty and the terrorist threat involves exporting wealth, economic prosperity and our model of liberal democracy."@en1
