Schengen and schizophrenia

The current UE debate to restrict Schengen agreements in "special circumstances" is a good reminder of a basic logical trade-off in political choice:
Welfare states are not compatible with liberal, global policies.

Welfare segregates. It prefers the inside to the outside.
Call it what it is: ethnocentric, bigoted and chauvinistic.

Clearly contradictory with the received idea of socialist principals and ideals.
More humane, more benefits, more equal, more fraternal.

The only way you can support that is if you're part of the few privileged inside. Privileged to those outside. 
Might as well hear the truth: it's the foreigners' fault, they aren't born with the same noble descent. You see our genes are officially recognised as superior by the right of jus sanguinis.
"Sorry guys this is a private event."
