ie: I'm British by birth and Britain is part of the EU, if I decided I wanted to go and live in Spain or Greece or Italy and work there, then as a citizen of an EU country I can do so (as long as I have an EU passport I believe)
If Turkey joined the EU then that would open that option up to the Turks as well

Right, and he is saying that he doesn't want that because the "cheaper labor" will come in and "take jobs" and money. That is the common argument. Basically the poor countries get to "rape" the rich countries... which is kind of backwards as to how it's been for millenniums, LOL. Maybe it's some kind of payback, LOL.
