This report is, at one and the same time, monumentally trite, untrue, inept and propagandist in its pro-immigration stance.
Trite statements appear in recital M, in which it is pointed out that a change in the migration policy of one Member State affects migration flows in other Member States. Those are only the obvious consequences of the Schengen Agreement and of an area without borders! That does not, however, prevent Mr Gaubert from calling, in paragraph 32, for mass regularisation operations in connection with immigrants.
The illogicality and irresponsibility of this report do not end there. After having called for the potential of immigration to be fully optimised and having reaffirmed the right of non-nationals not to be turned back at borders, to access the labour market and to participate in public and political life, the report points out that all of these policies must fall within the framework of the principles of solidarity and shared responsibilities laid down in the Constitutional Treaty! Is it necessary to point out that that text has been buried by the twin ‘no’ vote of the French and the Dutch and by the fact that the British have put it on hold?
The pro-immigration lobby should come down from its ivory tower and start to listen to the voice from below, the voice of the nations."@en1
