As no West European state wants welfare immigration, and because they are unable to discriminate between nationals and EU immigrants, they will begin to reduce their services. Europe will enter an extended period of competitive deterrence, during which it will gradually abandon its old social values.
其结果可能是这些福利国家的自我侵蚀。由于西欧国家不想接受福利移民，但又不能将国民和欧盟移民区别对待，所以他们会开始减少福利服务。欧洲会进入一段竞争性阻滞期，并在此期间逐渐放弃旧的社会价值观。
