The current record wave of immigration is a problem and does not conform to the interests of most people in Europe. Immigration is ineffective as a global development policy.

Third section asks a question of who are the winners and losers of immigration. Forth section analyses free movement of people in the EU. Fifth section explains why immigration is not remedy to population aging. Sixth section is concerned with the strengths and weaknesses of multiculturalism.
