As far as EU migrant-importing countries concerned, the immigration problems originated with the partial contradiction between supply and demand in the labor market, have rosed to comprehensive problems effecting their politics,economics,societies,culture and even the process of European integration. Objectively speaking, the benefits brought by immigrants are much more than the problems to the EU countries. However, the states have to retained the immigration problems, because it come down to sovereignty and autonomy, which are the most important core interests and so sensitive to the nation-states. In addition, the governments and people of EU pay excess attention to the negative impacts brought by immigrants, taking non-welcome and exclusion attitude, so make the EU immigration problems more complex and acute.So, in order to make truly effective immigration policies, the EU should find the essential of immigration problems, and reflect them with globalization perspectives.
