The funnies thing is people from the low end countries of EU, who in reality have more benefits from EU then they contribute, and whose governments are corrupt to hell and back, complain about Germany and a few other countries having a major role, when those countries hold the very idea together and thier budgets and economies allow everyone to enjoy. And to be clear I'm not in any of those big countries, I don't even live in EU because of corrupt politicians in my country (Bosnia) not working on it as they should.

      It weren't the immigrants alone that "nation built" todays Germany, the germans along with the immigrants did that (not in equal roles). Taking your point, you have there living proof how cooperation between peoples achieves great things.

                If your country has crappy wages within the EU then, more likely than not, it already had crappy wages much before entering the EU. How is that EU's fault? You complain about lack of sovereignty, but *somehow* you want EU to take even more sovereignty from your country so that it sets better wages... Which one is it, do you want more sovereignty or not?

The biggest problem Europe has is an aging and shrinking population. It needs more people. Immigrants are the most motivated of all workers. Lazy locals are the worse, as you can see.

                  The most prosperous nation on earth, the US, was built by immigrants, literally. It constantly absorbs large numbers of immigrants. Australia is also a nation of immigrants, as is Canada. Two prosperous and peaceful countries that would not be successful without high levels of immigration. They prove that immigration works smoothly. The UK also has high levels of (non-EU) immigration.

                  Europe has only one lesson to learn: it needs immigrants, and lots of them.

                        There is no benefit from EU. EU is like the Soviet Union. EU takes away the sovereignty of countries, destroys the nations. The EU is an antidemocratic corporatocracy. The purpose of the EU is to serve the interests of corporations and the elite/establishment like George Soros, enforce multiculturalism and feminism, and to steal the resources from Western European and pheripheral countries, enslave their citizens (by paying much less wage for the same job), to take over their market and economy and to make those countries vulnerable.

                        The only thing that would justify the existence of the EU is that if the EU made mandatory to pay the same wage for the same job within the EU. Since they don't do it, it proves that EU is just a scam that exists only to oppress the national governemnts and the citizens in favor of corporations and elitists.

Every human being is a potentially profitable resource, so every country should do everything they can to welcome as many new immigrants... as possible and invest in their education...! It is actually cheaper to invest in immigrants than in more than 20 years of childcare and schools... for people born within the country!

                                      Liberalism/freedom rule! Removing roaming charges is a step to bring people together, make friends with your neighbors, build "bridges" not walls!
