How would you size the quotas? To population? To size? To proximity to the immigrants' countries of origin? According to language they speak?
Just like the "we need to nuy gas jointly from Russia" - I want specifics, not generic "we should do this"... In the long run, we're all dead. John Maynard Keynes
And yes, if you like, a common border requiring a common policy requires a centrally funded border coastguard & police.
However, if you're asking me to determine the specifics of that common policy, then I'm gonna take the Obama defence; it's way, way above my pay-grade. keep to the Fen Causeway
It´s not the complaining, it´s the desperate need of the rest of the world next door.
First of all, EU Justice should be investigating the mafias involved and blanking NATO should be finding the reported ´mother ship´ that drops off the boats, instead of covering the USass in Afghanistan, but there doesn´t seem to be enough interest in ´just a southern problem´.
The lives lost are priceless and so are the social costs, but the maintenance, deportation, job creation in the countries of origin, etc. do have a measurable price and I bet non-profits could tell us!
Now that we have the Shame Directive and some countries are willing to pay privateers to ´store´ people up to 18 months, I don´t even want to know how much cheaper it would be to create a job at the source. Our knowledge has surpassed our wisdom. -Charu Saxena.
