It is not acceptable that European Union countries are divided into those who give and those who take.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
People feel that in too many ways the EU is something that is done to them, not something over which they have a say.
Europe can't take in huge masses of foreign people in an unlimited, uncontrolled manner.
There have been major disagreements within the European Union.
The EU is not a country and it's not going to become a country, in my view, now or ever in the future. It is a group of countries working together.
The United States has some people in Europe with whom we disagree on this matter and a large number of people in Europe, including governments in Europe, with whom we agree.
Everyone should respect the sovereignty of the EU countries.
We should seek to cooperate with Europe, not to divide Europe to a fictitious new and a fictitious old.
Europe has to address people's needs directly and reflect their priorities, not our own preoccupations.
Europe has a lot of strength. We need to pool that strength, and I am very much in favour of that - more of a deeper political union.
There is no 'European people' united by common mores.
