Theresa May: we'll stop migrants if euro collapses
2012-05-26
The Government is drawing up plans for emergency immigration controls to curb an influx of Greeks and other European Union residents if the euro collapses, the Home Secretary discloses today.

In an interview in The Daily Telegraph, Theresa May says "work is ongoing" to restrict European immigration in the event of a financial collapse. People from throughout the EU, with the exception of new member countries such as Romania and Bulgaria, are able to work anywhere in the single market.

However, there are growing concerns that if Greece was forced to leave the euro, it would effectively go bankrupt and millions could lose their jobs and consider looking for work abroad.

The crisis could spread quickly to other vulnerable countries such as Spain, Ireland and Portugal, although Britain is regarded as a safe haven because it is outside the single currency.

Details of the contingency plan emerged as the euro crisis deepened further yesterday.

#5  A number of Perts + Posters believe the collapse of the single-curency EuroDollar will likewise induce the collapse of the EU/EUZ = OWG Regional, Continental, Trans- ... "Unions" as well as NATO per se.

Again, I don't think the "Globalists" [Space Federalists?] + aligned will let that happen, although IMO there will be major delays in implementating same. THE BIRTH PANGS OF OWG = SPACE GOVT-ORDER WILL BE LONG + HARD.

Anybody else know a place that "is outside the single currency"?
I do. And they're pretty slack on enforcing their immigration laws...
