1.) Immigration has been a big problem for the EU recently. It has been a big
problem for a couple reason and these reasons are because that immigration
has been widely perceived to be the main cause of high rates of
unemployment in countries. Also, it is illegal to just come into another
country and not get checked and people are illegally migrating in European
countries through Morocco and other northern African countries.
Furthermore, gangs profit from immigration because they help people get in
to where they need to go and sometimes woman and children are forced to
work as prostitutes for these gangs. The worst part of this is that the money
from this illegal immigration is used for terrorist funding.
Immigration is looked at both good and bad because countries have looked at
the benefits of having loser immigration controls. Most EU people look at it
as bad though and this is because the maintenance of immigrants high and
the immigrants try to get free benefit handouts that cost governments more
and more money.

2.) The EU has been dealing with immigration for some time now and there have
been a couple of ways they have tried to limit the flow of people coming in to
Europe. The ways that they are attempting this is that Italy has said that
they proposed a six month legal permit that will hopefully stem the flow of
illegal immigration. The Swedish government said that they will not stop
immigration but regulate it. The British, the French and the Germans have all
called for tighter border control and they see it as the main way of controlling
the influx of immigrants.
The British have suggested having immigration and asylum centres outside
the European Union. If the British get this approved, it is hoped that it more
fairly redistribute the immigrants over Europe. Finally, the down side to this
that this plan has proved to be controversial as other less attractive countries
do not want to pay the extra cost
