Does Stolen Conservative Immigration Policy Go Far Enough?

Well, it seems that the Conservative immigration policy the Labour Party tried to brand as racist in the last General Election has been stolen and implemented.

I suppose I welcome it as a step forward, but it is only that. It is right that we should make sure immigrants into the UK are able to demonstrate they will contribute to the economy; the points system will help with this. However, the major flaw is that we still have an open door to large tracts of Eastern Europe and unless our new immigration policy covers *all* immigrants there is little hope that it will engender confidence in the communities that are impacted by it.

Many of the misconceptions about immigration arise out of a broad distrust and dislike of the National situation and the open door to EU Nationals. A policy that ignores that is only half a solution.

Apparently, it's link to Iain Dale day

Iain has asked bloggers to link to this item. Once again his comments are spot on and shows how distorted our immigration system has become.

To link it to my previous post; as an elected representative, it is incredibly satisfying when you take up a case where someone has suffered an injustice and get a result. It has happened to me a few times and it makes every difficulty and every frustration worth putting up with.
