20 MILLION MORE IMMIGRANTS!
Friday, September 14, 2007 at 10:02AM 
The European political elite are committing cultural suicide. How else to explain their announcement yesterday that they wish to let in an extra 20 million workers from Asia and Africa? Skilled migrants would be granted special 'blue cards' giving them the right to settle in member states, including Britain - if the Government agrees. Britain has an 'opt-in' to ideas from Brussels it supports and is not bound by EU policy on immigration and asylum. But a blue card - similar to the green cards issued by the US - could circumvent any opt-out by Britain. The card would entitle skilled migrants to work in a member state for two years and then move to a second EU country after two or three years. The workers could apply to stay permanently after five consecutive years in any EU state.
It's interesting to consider WHY the EU wants to let in all these millions.
" Home affairs commissioner Franco Frattini said an influx of migrants was needed to plug skills gaps in the EU economy caused by a declining, ageing population."
Ah - the demographics. Might it be that Frattini ALMOST told the truth? Europe DOES needs millions of migrants to help pay the welfare benefits of its declining ageing indigenous population and the political elite are prepared to accept the destruction of "old" Europe as we know it as a price worth paying. Any thoughts what faith those millions of immigrants might follow? Any guesses?

They say that they want "skilled migrants" to come to Europe from the third world. What 'skills' would these people have. The third world is not exactly famed for its technological advancement.
On the EUrocrats, they want non-Europeans to come into the EU to replace the huge numbers of Europeans who would have been paying taxes and contributing to their respective countries execpt that they were aborted: a policy supported by the EUrocrats.
This is population replacement.
What a nasty xenophobic excuse for an article
All western nations are desperately seeking highly skilled workers from these regions in order to compete. In India the top prizes on game shows are university positions for budding engineers in the UK. In America and the UK the top prizes are for lame fame.
Marcus,
In what way?
The only gaps caused in our skills base have been deliberate ones created so the EU can whine about a lack of skilled workers and bring in more migrant ones from elsewhere. It isnt just deliberate cultural replacement, it is also depriving the developing world of its best and brightest just so they can have a plausible excuse for that cultural replacement.
And Markus,
Was there a point anywhere on the horizon or can you just not stand the thought of anyone questioning mass immigration?
David whats wrong with this Line... "But a blue card - similar to the green cards issued by the US - could circumvent any opt-out by Britain."
Allan they come with a wonderful set of skills, how to make a car bomb, how to teach children to self explode, how to subvert the legislator into Sharia Law.
But it's all worth it for the taxes. It seems to work well in France...LOL
never mind this part. Monica just explained what you meant. I shouldn't post b4 the first pot of coffee...

Haven't we already reached saturation point?
Past it.
20 Million more immigrants? Why thats five more families!
America takes the most from this part of the world so dont worry. We need em!
Markus - thanks very much but there are many of us who have had more than enough immigration and we don't want any more. I'm already destined to become an ethnic minority in my own English city in just 10 years. Enough's enough.
I suspect that a mass movement against 'the islamisation of Europe' is unlikely to materialise. It's just too difficult a subject to comprehend for most. Only those who've done some research on the many elements of the 'religion' truly realise its inherent danger. I do believe a large scale, Europe wide, demonstration against immigration would be successful. Many ordinary people are only too aware of the problems caused by mass immigration. Among the numerous reasons why immigration should be immediately halted there would inevitably be an Islamic component to the arguments. One thing's for sure, I'd be at the head of any march.
No argument there, Allan.
A few years ago the head of a Japanese electronics company paid a fine tribute to us Brits when he said that over the past 50 years some 70% of all world beating inventions had come from the UK.
For the life of me, I cannot think of one invention to come from the third world, or even the so-called 'emerging economies' of China or India.
It is a disgrace that terrorists strive to destroy our land, culture and way of life.
It is a disgrace that we are overrun by illegal imigrants (The European political elite announce on that they wish to let in an extra 20 million workers from Asia and Africa).
The fact that we allowed this to continue, is a disgrace!
The need for cheap labour is what inspired the first wave of slavery two hundred years ago. to provide a good living for the owners, and basic amenities for the workers. - Is this new need for cheap labour so very different?
Will there be claims for reparation sometime in the future, when all those new workers realise they are merely wage fodder to provide for a European ruling elite, and that their 'new opportunity' in the West is really only an opportunity to sell their souls, at a 'cut price'.
The old-time slavery did not replace a workforce, - as there was none, this new version is designed explicitly to replace an existing workforce that has become too expensive to sustain, and at the same time maintain a bureacratic elite. The 'wage slaves' have seen what is available, and they want their share!
The excuses that there are not enough people willing to work is really a myth, engineered to make the claim that such massive immigration is required - 'as a necessity', - believe that and you will believe almost anything...the only need is for a replacement workforce for one that has become perhaps too demanding of it's 'fair share'.
The advent of the computer age was touted as being the end of manual work, both skilled and unskilled, for the masses and that a few would be able to do what previously took many. What happened in the interim? - if now, just some fifty years later we are in such desperate need of manpower.
In truth, all that cheap labour is required to maintain the dream of the 'Welfare Statists', to provide the best of that dream 'for them', and to provide, perhaps, a utility version for those actually doing the heavy lifting. It always has been so, and always will be...
