Poland

Despite the fact, Poland is believed to be against immigration, Poland is actually no 1 immigration country regarding working immigrants. Here is one of the sources https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/Residence_permits_statistics#First_residence_permits:_an_overview Cautious (talk) 21:32, 21 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Article name

The article is Immigration TO Europe, yet so much of it is about immigration within Europe. Is that the intent? If so, a name change may be in order.

Number of references

Do we really need seven (!) references for this one sentence: According to the Financial Times, Spain is the most favoured destination for Western Europeans considering to move from their own country and seek jobs elsewhere in the EU. It seems a bit excessive. 71.205.170.70 (talk) 01:15, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article is so wrong

The statement "Switzerland has the highest immigrant population of any European country with more than one and a half million residents, as 23% of its 7.5 million residents are foreign-born. Countries in which immigrants form between 10% and 20% of the population are: Latvia (19%), Estonia (15%), Austria (15%), Ukraine (15%), Croatia (15%), Cyprus (14.3%), Ireland (14%), Moldova (13%), Germany (12%), Sweden (12%), Belarus (12%), Italy (11,9%),Spain (11%), France (10%) and the Netherlands (10%)" is wrong. Switzerland is the country with the higher PERCENTAGE of immigrants, and it is not the country that has the highest immigrant population. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_immigrant_population Have a look at this list and you can see as Italy hasn't got 11% of immigrants. Spain's total immigrant population and percentage of immigrant population is higher than Italy's. The countries in Europe with more immigrants are; Russia (12 millions, 8.483% of the total population), Germany (10.1 millions, 12.31% of the total population), Ukraine (6.8 millions, 14.7% of the total population), France (6.4 millions, 10.18% of the total population), United Kingdom (5.4 millions, 8.982% of the total population), Spain (5.2 millions, 11.45% of the total population) and Italy (~4.4 millions, 7.5% of the total population). Switzerland has got 1.6 millions of immigrants, 22.89% of its total population. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.181.23.132 (talk) 17:24, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do not delete the table (2005 data)

This is the foreign world population by country (source

UN
). Notes are possible for adding updates, until next data is released. So unfairly Italy has 4.3%, with 2.5 million foreign population (now 8.1% with more than 4.3 million). Spain as well has increased its foreign population from 10.8% to 12.2% (5.6 million in 2009 and 5.7 million in 2010). 178.109.14.14 (talk) 18:10, 9 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article scope

The title is "immigration to Europe", but it is slightly comical to give a brief discussion of Neanterthals and Cro Magnon when 95% of the article is dedicated to the post-1980 immigration boom. I suggest this is a matter for disambiguation. "Immigration to Europe" should be understood as contemporary immigration to Europe, with a "history" section covering events since the 1970s or so. Historical immigration (Roman and Ottoman Empires, Romani, medieval to early modern, 19th century) should go to a separate article, currently existing as a section-with-possiblities

I suggest moving the contemporary, "Today's immigration" subsection of the article to the

Schengen agreement

The statement that free movement of people was established through the Schengen agreement is a common, but completely wrong, misconception. The Schengen agreement regulates border controls between member states of the Schengen area, it has nothing to do with the right to move between the countries or settle in another country. The free movement of workers was established way long before that, actually in the 1960s through a directive. The right was extended to students in the 1990s, and (to some extent) to all EU citizens through directive 2004/38/EC, which became effective in 2006. --

Orphaned references in Immigration to Europe

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Immigration to Europe's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "auto1":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 12:26, 30 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
