Questions like those I don't really know an obvious answer for. I think the current situation needs to change though, especially in terms of the illegal imigration as a result of the political climate in the east.
Strick immigration laws are an answer and forced deportations could be used to stop the inflow and more importantly showcase that Europe will not tolerate the disrespect that illegals shows to their political boarders. I'm defenatly not a saint like Anton said, but this issue of illegal immigrations, which is the obvious top concern for europe, needs to be looked at in "push" and "pull" factors. What is pulling these people to risk their lives to come to the EU? and what is pushing them from inside their own countries to come?
The Pull factor are obviously the social welfare state Europe has, and economic possibilities not available in their home country. Push factors can include repression from their government, lack of econommic opportunities, and depression, and war.
Europe needs to tackle this problem at two fronts, domestically and externally. Domestically with strick immigration laws, and externally to support the people in muslims countries who want to improve their state. I think this is the benifit for europe. The world is so interconnected today I don't think its possible to just ignore the problems of your neighbours because it will eventually spill over onto you.
