Who should be allowed into Europe? Hundreds of thousands of people come each year, most legally, others not. But as unemployment is on the rise, some are concerned about immigrants taking jobs. And with additional concerns about terrorism, there is now the question of border security. At the same time, Europe has an ageing work force and needs foreign labour.

This summer the EU decided to try to harmonize its immigration policies, with an emphasis on inviting highly-skilled people to fill economic needs. By next year the continent is expected to come up with a common asylum policy. But the questions remain: What kind of limit should we be putting on immigration? Who should be allowed in? And how should we decide?

From a humanitarian perspective, our fellow human beings, who migrate to support their families, continue to suffer at the hands of immigration policies that separate them from family members. This suffering should not continue.

Now is the time to address this pressing humanitarian issue which affects so many lives and undermines basic human dignity. Our society should no longer tolerate a status quo that perpetuates a permanent underclass of persons and benefits from their labor without offering them legal protections.

In Rome this week, Lybian President Moammar Gaddafi offered to stop Africans entering the EU for a fee of $5 billion, and suggested Europe should convert to Islam. Should Mr Kaddafi ever be taken seriously or is he merely a figure of fun?
