On December 6, U.S. Deputy Secretary for Homeland Security Michael P. Jackson told a Brussels roundtable on security that the United States and EU share a common problem — dealing with border and transportation security while preserving the human rights values of free societies. The two governments should recognize their shared problem and work toward a common solution, but realize there will likely be differences, some perhaps insurmountable.   “I think those values are shared in common and I think our commitment to work with Europe to protect those values while also protecting our peoples is an important balance that we have to strike,” Jackson said at the event, organized by the German Marshall Fund. “There’ll be disagreements at times about whether the balance is appropriately struck, and disagreements are a fact of life, but the commitment to find that balance is solid.”   Questioned about American immigration policies, Jackson said a new temporary workers’ program will help stem illegal immigration to the United States. He added that the United States and EU could do more together to combat the radicalization of young immigrants against their host countries.
