This subject has been raised before. There are lots of sensitive issues to be resolved (which I will not mention here for reason I wish not to divulge) and it will be many years before Turkey will be able to join the EU, around 10-15 I think.

Merchandises are allowed to travel without visa or whatsoever. So is done work force. If you are considered as work force, namely, merchandise, there exists no border, nor bloody visa process for you. You wouldn't of course care all these as long as you can travel without visa wherever you like, but they don't care, either, you enjoy your travelling as long as you are walking money (with one head, two hands and two legs). The question here – whether we, too, will be considered as marchandise by the EU. Or better, whether we will like to be considered as such. Hopefully we will never, and will never join in the EU.
However, just for the sake of nostalgia, "let them do, let them pass". 
(I think we need also a "let them pass" smiley.  )

At the moment it is a bit of a one way ticket (for "merchandise") - everyone from the less affluent EU countries are making their way into the UK (France, Germany etc) thinking that life is so much better and it is becoming what is known as a "brain drain" for those countries. For instance we are employing many dentists from Poland because they will work for less money and consequently the Polish dental system is suffering. And we are taking advantage of cheaper labour. We dont seem to see floods of UK citizens making their way to work in Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, Rumania, Bulgaria etc etc. for considerably less money than they would earn in the UK. But they seem to forget that cost is relative.
So whilst is many ways it is good for individuals to be able to travel from country to country, it is not so good when they all flood into a few countries clogging up their systems and resources.
Where as once I though the EU was a good thing, it is now too big and it is full of red tape, bureaucracy, legislation, rights for this that and the other.

Yes! It is the EU-sent blessing at that.
