Europe - with hundreds of millions of people - can accept hundreds of thousands of migrants.

Movement of people is taking place on an immense scale, and from a European perspective, the number of potential future immigrants seems limitless.

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.

Immigrants provide skills that we simply cannot afford to do without. They have contributed hugely to Britain's success.

Immigrants create an engine of economic prosperity.

If there was to be a new Europe, there not only had to be a common market, but also great mobility in labor.

Europe can't take in huge masses of foreign people in an unlimited, uncontrolled manner.

Immigrants have historically been an entrepreneurial bunch.

Now, most of the new immigrants coming to this country are from Asia as opposed to Europe.

Countries around the world have their own immigration laws and methods of dealing with a recurring theme: desperate people searching for peace from volatile parts of the world. And nations everywhere thrive and prosper from the contributions of immigrants and the children of immigrants - including right here in the U.S.
