Europe must rethink immigration – the human tide is not about to stop (quote from CR)

Quote in Newsweek article by Adam leBor on Europe’s immigration crisis:

Europe needs a complete overhaul of the discussion about immigration, says Carne Ross of Independent Diplomat, a diplomatic advisory group. “The debate is impoverished by its reliance on the false terminology of ‘illegal’ or ‘economic’ migrants, as if wanting to escape grinding poverty is illegitimate. The evidence is very clear that immigration benefits everyone economically in the end. Cultural diversity is better and more enriching than monocultural homogeneity and narrow-mindedness.”
