Flood of North African immigrants straining Europe's unity

What! Is Italy crazy? It has been just over 2 months and they can process so many papers?? Sure must have fast typers-or a lot of people who like sitting around scribing, and getting paid for it!Isnt there anyone growing tomatoes and olives there anymore.

Maybe they dont have anymore builders? So they could raise some sort of holding area until papers were thoroughly investigated and processed?

In 1974, former Algerian President Houari Boumedienne said in a speech at the U.N.: “One day millions of men will leave the southern hemisphere to go to the northern hemisphere. And they will not go there as friends. Because they will go there to conquer it. And they will conquer it with their sons. The wombs of our women will give us victory.”

We see it happening now. And the more US and European politicians intervene on the elusive Arab "freedom" movements, the faster it happens.

Everywhere where they get "freedom", the Arab masses take the chance to run away. Sarkozy must feel really good now.

No ground for putting the blame on Sarkozy if that is the gist of the sarcasm. The EU immigration policies are a real mess.

WilliB- Yes, Europe citizens,making less children. Developing world,is having more children,cost is less. Many in west and US,adopt children for developing nations. Why??

Expensive to raise,children in EU,due to high costs. Many Europeans opt,not to have children.

New Migrants,when go to EU,they also raise less children,like Europeans due to high costs and european thinking. Plenty EU nations have very low birth rates.

New migrants,will never be the same,after migration to Europe or USA.

I am poor with lots of children ,you are rich but have so few mouths to feed; therefore can we just leave our poor ,crowded house and move into your large ,nice luxurious home???...there is something wrong with that way of thinking.

tclh,

"I am poor with lots of children ,you are rich but have so few mouths to feed; therefore can we just leave our poor ,crowded house and move into your large ,nice luxurious home???...there is something wrong with that way of thinking." You also forgot the bit where once l move into your big nice house l will want to redecorate in my way and change the house rules to my way as well and l will also being all my troubles with me and continue them from your house. And if you dont like that l will scream racism and religious intolerance and burn your house down.

AdamB, you make thing becomes so obvious; perhaps that is why British PM said he wants "good immigration" not "mass immigration", :-).
