#2 Part a.
Immigration has become a problem for the EU because its affecting the whole nation. The article states
that the immigrants have made the number of asylum seekers drop in recent years. They also said that
immigrants were the reason for high unemployment. This rate could be rising because Europe could be
using the immigrants to work for less money instead of paying a citizen of the country the appropriate
amount. Young immigrant women and children are often used as prostitutes.

The article also states that another reason why immigration is a problem for the EU because of
terrorism. It stated that the attack on 9/11 happened with 12 illegal citizens that made their way into
the US to make the attack happen. The article states that terrorism comes from people who are
immigrants to the country. This has made the countries tighten their boarder control to make sure it
doesnt happen.

Part b.
According to the Article, The Italian minister issued a 6 month permit for immigrants, hoping that
immigrants will come to Italy through the Italian government instead of through gangs. The Swedish
government doesnt want to restrict immigration because it believes in free movement between the
member states, it also thinks that the labor will build the Swedish economy. The British, French and
Germans have called for tighter border controls to reduce the amount of immigrants.

The British was all for the immigrants coming to their country. But this proved that the decision that was
made by the British was very controversial and didnt work as planned. Now the immigrants are forced
to apply for an asylum at their first point of entry. They do not wish to completely stop the movement of
immigrants but to regulate it.
