That's exactly what I thought when I read the article this morning. Plus, does the EU really think that the African countries will happily take back their unskilled people for a few sheckles and happily give up their skilled people?

Politicians constantly argue that immigration brings economic benefits.
Even if that were true in general, it clear that Muslim immigration does
not.
"For example, compared with the UK average of 22% of the working age
population being economically inactive, Somali, Bangladeshi, Pakistani
and Iranian immigrants are likely to be 81%, 56%, 55% and 48%
economically inactive respectively"
These figures come from the Institute for Public Policy report "Britain's
Immigrants: an economic profile"

Taken from the comments section of one of those articles:
King Alfred: And now my lords we march to fight Guthrum and his great Viking army.
Priest: I am sorry my Lord but that is against their human rights. You see they have been here for a few years.
King Alfred: What about when they wiped out the whole of East Anglia?
Priest: Well you see that is a part of their culture which we must respect my lord.
King Alfred: Okay then I will send you to negotiate with them lets see how long you will last...
Priest: I believe we can integrate them, my Lord.
King Alfred: But what about their raping?
Priest: Diversity, my Lord.
King Alfred: And their pillaging?
Priest: Enrichment, my Lord.
King Alfred: Their looting?
Priest: Vibrancy, my Lord.
King Alfred: This integration you speak of ... it looks a lot like, well, what we used to call 'losing'.
