Having both has become a financial disaster in the USA. Why should the EU be any different? When you make yourself a magnet for third-world populations that do not want to integrate with the existing first-world culture then you are destined to become third-world yourself.
Really? You think that's what caused our financial problems? Forget corporate welfare and billions wasted on unused defense programs. People getting free food is what is bankrupting us!
And you do realize that the U.S. has been a magnet for third-world populations since the very beginning, right? I seem to remember something about huddled masses yearning to be free. Are we not the land of the free anymore?
