MEP Weimers warns illegal migrants won't feel at home

Charlie Weimers, a member of the European Parliament, said that people who come to Europe without permission will never feel at home. He told the audience that staying in Europe is hard for those who arrive illegally. He used simple words to make his point clear.

He added that anyone who wants to bring Islamic law, called Sharia, should be sent back to their country. He also called Spain’s plan to give legal papers to many migrants a “mass amnesty for illegals”. The comment sparked a big debate about the policy of migration in Europe. Some people think the plan helps integration and safety, while others worry about security and the cost of giving an amnesty. Critics say the idea of regularisation could encourage more illegal arrivals. Supporters argue that new legislation is needed to protect rights. The talk also raised questions about how to balance freedom and control.

Many listeners said the speech will stay in the news for weeks. It shows how strong feelings are about illegal arrivals and the future of Europe’s borders.
