| Europe needs more migration to boost growth, says David Cameron and allies |
| 2012-02-21 |
| In a joint letter with 11 other conservative leaders, the Prime Minister urges greater “labour mobility” within the European Union to help people move abroad to places with the best job opportunities. Mr Cameron has claimed that mass immigration in Britain has led to “discomfort” and promised voters that he will bring immigration down to the “tens of thousands”. Hundreds of thousands of migrant workers from Eastern Europe have settled in Britain since countries such as Poland joined the European Union. However, Mr Cameron is now leading a coalition of countries claiming that Europe should have a “more integrated open labour market”. The European leaders, including the prime ministers of Italy, Ireland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Latvia, want migrants to settle where there are jobs amid high unemployment rates across the continent. |

| #4 Intra-European labor exchange is actually a good thing for the Europeans: it gets the motivated Europeans into the countries that need the labor to get the drab work done. And it keeps the Labour/Social Democrat parties in Europe from bringing in hundreds of Muslim Third World stealth jihadists to do the same work. Other than Albania and Bosnia, there are not major European native Muslim populations, and the Albanians and Bosnians have demonstrated little tolerance for the radical mullah types in their countries. UNLIKE all of Arab North Africa. |

| #3 Trading changing a few diapers for having tons of drinks and fun in your twenties just isn't in the Euro genome any more, even if it means extinction. No kids = this sort of thing. |
