Because it's the same nation? Sorry... will be the same nation.

"The United States of Europe" isn't it.
[/QUOTE]Good point, but it's more a group of nations working together economically. We are and never will be one people, there's just too many differences, and i'm not just talking about the language. We would do better to invest in the Polish economy, so they can create jobs of their own, instead of inviting 22.000 well educated Polish who are willing to work for half the salary a Dutchman would make. That isn't fair to our own well educated people, who all have high hopes of good jobs. After all, that's what they've studied for. It would be bitter if next years college graduates can't find jobs, because they are taken by eastern Europeans who are willing to do the same job for much less.

That's not helping eachother economically, that's asking for trouble, creating intolerance.
