You can propose what you like. Immigrants make a net contribution to this country. More migrants come here from outside the EU from from within, which we have full control over, but we don't control it. We need the immigrants to work. If we didn't need them there would be hundreds of thousands of them out of work, but there aren't, and, pro rata, far fewer migrants claim benefits than UK nationals do. We do not train enough people for much of the skilled workforce that we need, let alone have enough people willing to do the essential menial tasks in hospitals, care homes and in agriculture. We are going to be ditched out of the single market, yet still have immigration in the hundreds of thousands for many years to come. The Tories have initiated a cock-up of the highest order.   Cameron's staggering incompetence and shortsightedness has doomed this country.
