Oh and when they talk about the poor doctors and teachers who can’t practice because they are illegal…please. The number of doctors/lawyers/teachers entering Europe illegally is minimal compared to unskilled workers. In fact, this attitude of legalizing everyone regardless hurts professionals more than it helps them. Obviously a proffesional trying to get in the country legally is going to have it harder if the receiving country has the habit of legalizing illegals massively. Never mind the fact that, unlike the US, many European countries give no higher priority to a surgeon than to a bricklayer, in terms of the legalization process.
