How about the European problem with illegal immigrants

There's one solution, based in the following points:

1. Assimilation (who cares about skin color if they think European?)
2. Alphabetization of 3rd World (best recipe against overpopulation: if you know how to spell condom... you surely will use it)
   

Then the radical complementary points:

1. Socialization and equal global distribution of wealth
2. Tackling of the climatic change (ecologization)

There are no other solutions, unless you want to play Hitler - and even then, emember that Hitler was the "king" of "guest workers" (he never seemed to have enough manpower).

Obviously having more kids is not solution: solution is having less kids, not just in the West but everywhere.

That requires that 3rd World nations share the benefits of the global economy and education with the West. Richer and more educated peripheric peoples would not be so much pressing.

Of course we can also become "Chinese"... they are open to assimilate all the World peacefully (?) - and they are not that different from the West.

On a side note: European populatio is not declining: it's more or less stabilished. The problem is that capitalist companies (and individuals) want cheap workforce with no rights... EU citizens have rights (more or less) but ilegal inmigrants have none.

For that reason it is in the interest of EU workers that all inmigrants are legal and syndicated. It is also in the interest of EU workers that international free trade is conditioned to labour rights and ecological regulations. It is not fair to compete with Chinese workforce that has not even the right to belong to a labor union and where there's not even the slightest ecological regulation.

Looks like a good book.

Very good point though. All these imigrants will destroy us.

 

Do you guys in Europe think that your Muslims will stop having kids and assimilate? Can you image a Europe where Muslims are %100 of the population and even worse %100 of the population is mid-eastern?

 

The west is squealing and gasping. I hope I dont live to see its demise.

OMG!

Holy GMO!

Chinese inmigration is at least as intense as that from the Moghreb... I'm positive we can count with the Chinese as natural allies against fanatism.

Lennel: what the heck are you talking about?

Actually a recent finding has showed that imigration has helped the UK economy. It has even helped to decrease the rate of unemployment.

UK isn't Germany or France though, and whilst immigration surely benifited them in the past, with unemployment rates running over 10% (and much higher on a localised basis), a shortage of cheap factory labour isn't an issue.

Ergo, you can't expect goods for cheap and don't expect other countries to have to choke on EU imports while at the same time facing many unreasonable export barriers... 

I think the rest of europe should follow the  British free market economic policy, you are all stagnating while even in these difficult time the British economy continues to grow. in teh last ten years the standard of living here has improved dramatically. Our economy is much more versatile than any other large nation in europe.

 

Indian manufacturing is not as advanced, technologically nor sociologically as that of China, the Indian sweatshops are far more oppressive tan the factories of China, Chinese manufacturing is under strict regulation whereas in India, the boss is theend alla nd be all.  Not that China is perfect.

As far as house prices go, I am in full agreement, the goverment should regulate the amount of residential properties any one individual (or legal person) can possess, at least int eh same town..

Actually, muslims intergrate quite quickly people just don't realise. I once had a person say to me that they didn't know any muslims. Obviously they didn't count me, probably because I don't have a beard and wear shalwar-kameeze all the time.

Anyway, little jonnie howard sinks the boats, or sends the SAS out and redirects the illiegal immigrants to Naru - a country with no fresh water.

I think that firstly it will change Europe.I hope for good.We cannot know,only assume.If European social and democratic structure is strong,then they will be assimilated in the best way.if not,then we will have problems.It really depends on the social and democratic structures of European countries.
