 Zachrání Evropu imigrace?Will immigration save Europe?Marek Loužek Politická ekonomie, 2008, vol. 2008, issue 3, 362-379 Abstract: The current record wave of immigration is a problem and does not conform to the interests of most people in Europe. Immigration is ineffective as a global development policy. The article argues in favor of an immigration that is balanced and that is in the interests of citizens in Europe rather than just in the interests of potential immigrants, recent immigrants and businesses that like cheap labor. First section of the article perceives immigration in the context of the public debate. Second section calls attention to the record wave of immigration to Europe. Third section asks a question of who are the winners and losers of immigration. Forth section analyses free movement of people in the EU. Fifth section explains why immigration is not remedy to population aging. Sixth section is concerned with the strengths and weaknesses of multiculturalism. Seventh section draws attention to the problem of democratic legitimacy. Eighth section asks a question of whether there is a rational immigration policy.
