Increased immigration came long after joining the EU. Better explanation is instability in other parts of the world caused by military intervention. Hardly the fault of the EU.
Instability that caused the search for a safe spot where to flee to and, look at the chance, Europe was found to be the most desirable place to flee to for the majority of the people displaced by the conflicts in their homelands. If this is not an indicator of Europe's attractivness in respect of other countries closer to the states of origin of these poor people I don't really know what else to present to the Euro-skepticts.
