Last year, despite all the efforts of the UK coalition government, net migration was even higher than in Labour’s final year because fewer Britons were leaving the country (as a result of the world recession).
Again, that is what we would expect. The Blair (the holy fool) government could have imposed temporary controls on Eastern European migration, but chose not to. And now the government cannot impose such restrictions.
To pretend that immigration can be significantly controlled by legislation is simply dishonest. In order to say it is doing ‘something’ about immigration, the present government, like the last, wants to exclude Indian doctors and non-EU students because it cannot control the numbers coming from Eastern Europe.
The only way immigration can really be regulated is to weaken the economy to such a degree that the demand for labour disappears. Here, the coalition might be successful
