Immigration - as building of atomic power stations. Terribly, but without it anywhere. The West population grows old. Someone should pull a cart. The different countries cope with immigration differently. The USA or Australia more successfully, the Western Europe - less. The ideal decision was found by anybody. In America - millions illegal immigrants. In Europe contradictions between indigenous population and strangers remind of themselves acts of terrorism, pogroms and murders. Russia before which the demographic precipice too will just about be opened wide, another's experience makes sense to study attentively. Not to repeat another's errors.
Almost every tenth inhabitant of the European Union was born outside of that country in which now lives. Immigrants - the main engine of demographic growth in Europe. EU population has grown in 2005 on 2 million persons. The contribution of immigration to a gain - 85 %. Number of the alien population grows in all European Union countries, except four countries-donors - Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Poland, yes the Netherlands with their rigid immigration legislation. But if 40 years ago when Western Europe with its economic miracle as the sponge, absorbed millions from the North Africa, Turkey and Yugoslavia, to reflect on consequences of such policy simply there was no time, time today has come to estimate its fruits and to solve, whether it is time to change something. Pogroms in suburbs of Paris, acts of terrorism in London and Madrid, murder of Dutch director Teo Van Gogh - all this handwork of "another's" Europeans for which Europe and did not become the native land.
