So you're arguing that inflood of immigrants is not a benefit, but rather a "price" you have to "pay"?

That's an interesting twist to our discourse.

What? NO! That's not what I meant. The immigrants are a benefit.

The price you have to pay is that you get the Euro, you pay into the EU budget, you have your banking and industry regulated by the EU and you get the (admittedly questionable) supervision of the national budget.

There is a bigger question about cherry-picking the EU treaties here. Too many nationalists wanting to opt out of too many things.

EDIT: I must admit that my original comment can be read the way you did, but it was definitely not meant that way. I can assure you that I personally have made extensive use of the freedom to roam, work and study wherever I please within the EU.
