But neither you nor DC can do anything about those 'ten times' people. In case you don't know, the United States of Europe has a
freedom of movement clause which can only be overruled by the EU parliament. Not DC or Merkel or Hollande or ANY individual EU country leader can unilaterally change that.
If you were Prime Minister of UK you couldn't change it either.
Also, in case you've not noticed there are
NO border controls whatsoever between countries in mainland Europe, although Italy and Austria and France are hastily trying to impose them. Thankfully UK still has border controls albeit not all that effective but at least they are there.
At the end of WWII everyone thought that closer co-operation between countries in Europe would make war a thing of the past, their 'role model' was the USA but instead of imposing a single language across the continent (As the Americans have) they began by imposing things like freedom of movement.
People in England would be flocking to work in places like Germany, Holland, even Hungary and Czechland if they spoke the lingo. As English is taught in most schools in mainland Europe the 'flow' of people is towards us.
Crazy.
