Question….. Nilsen mentioned,

“Norway has had a very strict policy on who can, and cant get in. This is mostly because the government wants to be able to give those that can get in a job and integration into our society, so they don’t "ghetto up" and become criminals. (That’s the theory). Whether or not this has worked is another matter.”

I’m wondering what’s happening in the other EU countries. Are they seeing an increase or emerging of an “unproductive class” as Tarmac called it, from immigration?

Gscholz…..While it may seem prurient to do away with subsidized farmers as a cost cutting measure buy joining the EU. You may find the economic windfall your country now enjoys, siphoned off to pacify a growing “unproductive class” in the other member countries. Something worth considering.

cc Toad. Norway has had a very strict policy on who can, and cant get in. This is mostly because the goverment wants to be able to give those that can get in a job and integration into our society, so they dont "ghetto up" and become criminals. (thats the theory). Wether or not this has worked is another matter.

That's intersesting because that used to be the US imigration policy. Everyone imigrating had to be quarantined and screened for disease, and they had to have a skill.

Now people just sneak across our boarders and sign up for a free ride and start voting, while others wait in line for their chance to come over....

The US imigration policy was designed to help our country build a strong nation. Now we have turned that into letting bums come in and suck us dry it seems
