Biometric ID cards will leadto segregation

FOR the past 25 years, with each new accession to the EU, sections of the west European media have gone into xenophobic overdrive about being ‘invaded by hordes’ of migrant workers.

Nor do they mention that in resort towns in Bulgaria and elsewhere, immigrants and tourists from Britain and Ireland have driven house prices beyond the reach of the local population.
