'This is immigration with no limits whatsoever but spiced up with two unworkable proposals - a regional immigration policy that would be impossible to enforce and an amnesty that is certain to encourage still further illegal immigration. The LibDems are treating the public as if they were fools.' Commenting on the proposals on immigration in the Conservative manifesto, Migrationwatch chairman, Sir Andrew Green said today: ‘This is a very significant turning point in the crucial debate on immigration, which is of huge concern to the public. At last we have a manifesto that sets out, for the first time, an overall objective for net immigration. This is a reversal of the policies of the last decade - but of course there will be plenty of devils in the detail. Unless we can get net immigration down to about 40,000, a UK population of 70 million will be inevitable’ Commenting on the section on immigration in the Labour Party Manifesto, Migrationwatch chairman Sir Andrew Green said today: 'On immigration, Labour's manifesto shows some glimpses of light. Breaking the link between economic migration and permanent settlement is a valuable step forward. Mention of limits on high skilled workers and university students would be more significant if any such limits were specified. But on the central issue of an overall limit to immigration, the manifesto is deeply unconvincing. The authors were clearly ducking and weaving to avoid the commitment that really matters to the public, namely a broad policy objective to achieve a sharp reduction in immigration.'

IF foreign nationals are to be rewarded for breaking the laws of the land then why should British citizens be expected to obey them? Until the Liberal Democrats can answer that question they do not deserve the serious consideration of voters at this election.
