I voted against the Moraes report, which reiterates
the unrealistic guidelines contained in the Commission Communication on immigration, integration and employment.
The whole of this document is skewed in favour of more extensive immigration – a source of cultural and social enrichment – which would contribute to the entrepreneurial spirit, to diversity and innovation, and with a positive economic impact on employment and growth (page 10).
If everything is going so well, then we wonder why the rapporteur, like the Commission, is concerned about the ‘second and third generation immigrants still facing social, economic or political exclusion’ (Recital E), and why it is necessary to take so many voluntary integration measures (many of which will only increase the number of immigrants).
The truth is that the level of immigration that we are accepting does not correspond to the needs of our economy and our society’s reception capacity. Integrating immigrants means huge costs – which no one, and above all the Commission, in its Communication – dares mention to the citizens. In any case, no one is ready to shoulder these costs, so much so that, as a result of lies and a lack of awareness, immigration is drifting towards becoming an out-and-out social disaster, for us and for the countries of origin."@en1
