That's what's supposed to have happened when times were good. Now times are hard, jobs thin on the ground, benefits and services under extreme pressure, it's likely to stir up a whole lot of resentment and trouble I'd have thought. We have friends who emigrated to Greece a few years ago and don't like the anti-foreigner resentment they're starting to see.
It's a serious question. What could
any EU member state do if they found themselves being flooded with EU migrants seeking work, housing, benefits etc. etc. as a result of some major financial collapse in their own country?
