Europe - with hundreds of millions of people - can accept hundreds of thousands of migrants.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Europe can't take in huge masses of foreign people in an unlimited, uncontrolled manner.
No country in Europe has a larger proportion of men and women of immigrant descent, mainly from the African continent and mainly Muslim: an estimated six to seven million of them, or more than 10% of the population.
Every country in Europe needs immigrants for its economic survival.
Movement of people is taking place on an immense scale, and from a European perspective, the number of potential future immigrants seems limitless.
The migratory phenomenon exists, and Europe will have to face it together. The only alternative is a 'beggar-thy-neighbor' solution, in which countries try to load the problem off on their neighbors.
Europe is a community of half a billion people, more than Russia and the United States combined.
Now, most of the new immigrants coming to this country are from Asia as opposed to Europe.
We will have to accept a certain degree of legal immigration; that's globalisation... In the era of the smartphone, we cannot shut ourselves away... people know full well how we live in Europe.
The British, and most European countries, have struggled to accommodate Muslim immigrants, but they have nevertheless welcomed them in large numbers.
Emigration is no longer a solution; it's a defeat. People are risking death, drowning every day, but they're knocking on doors that are not open.
