It's not working in Europe. Europe is not working ...
In Europe, it's a disaste
Bla bla...
Europe is doing fine. Not perfect, but fine.
It is so much more pleasant to live on a (more or less) united continent with a single border than living in a patchwork of tiny, sniffy nations getting hot on their national sovereignty. And with the economy benefiting from that big times, Europe should be able to feed a few more immigrants...
If I fly from Oz to Europe the standard conversation with the random Australian next to me is:
"No you don't need to fill out immigration cards or any other ridiculous amount of paperwork to enter Europe... No it doesn't matter if you are a resident or tourist... Yes it's true you clear customs only at your first European destination... Yes afterwards you can travel through all of Europe without any more hassles (stay away from the UK tho
...)... Correct - No more visas or customs for ~27 States. No I'm not kidding you."
Sure the Euro is in trouble right now, however it did well the years before and I'm quite confident it will again in a couple of years.
