Nope, not talking about the Mexicans and the USA.

"EU Justice and Home Affairs Commissioner Franco Frattini said the large numbers of claimants was "a particular problem now for Sweden. But I don't exclude that in the future it will become a problem for other member states."

So what is the "particular problem" exactly?

Another repercussion of foreign insurgents is what you meant to say.

I don't see how this is negative.  Those whom are fleeing will have a better life in a European country than they ever could have hoped for in the ME.  And its not really bad for the European countries either, as an influx of immigrants of whom they get to choose the best can only help their country in the long run.  If their immigration system is competent then they won't be getting "bad people" like fundamentalists, just normal good hardworking people.   And I think thats a good thing for ANY country.

That's a big "if".  For the most part, you are correct though.  Most Islamic immigrants are normal people that just want a better life in the country they choose to enter.  I'd argue that the U.K.'s experience with this immigration has been bittersweet though.  It would probably be best if they stopped accepting so many Pakistanis, and maybe limited the influx to Iraqis.

The ones that look like " good " immigrants will still facilitate extremists, to some degree or another. Thats what usually happens.
