"Mr President, I am not in favour of freedom of movement, in principle: sovereign states should be able to admit, or refuse to admit, whom they wish. When it applies between countries with widely different wage levels, it leaves the source country devoid of valuable labour and the destination country with home workers jobless.
But the problem is aggravated when third-country citizens abuse the procedure by gaining access using forged and stolen documents, sham marriages and even proxy marriages. We are told that the procedure for authenticating documents is time-consuming and troublesome. It needs to be.
The British Home Secretary submitted a document showing the extent of the fraud to the Commission in December, but it is yet to be revealed to the public. The report sees freedom of movement to be not just a right, but an expectation. Those promoting it are trying to eradicate national identity and, by encouraging third-party or third-country nationals, they are seeking to eradicate the identity of Europe too."@en1
