By Sir Andrew Green Chairman of Migration Watch UK The Daily Mail, London, 15 April, 2011 David Cameron has just made the most important speech on immigration of any Prime Minister for many years. He tackled the subject in a frank, open, comprehensive and factual manner, while remaining sensitive to the delicacy of the issues. He set out a clear aim — to get net immigration down to tens of thousands — while disposing of the myth that EU migration would render this impossible.

In fact, obvious enough to have been made time and again by the likes of the United Nations, the OECD, the Council of Europe and the British government actuary….

Cap on Economic Migration Will Have a Limited Effect 4 April, 2011 The Government’s cap on economic migration which comes into effect on 6 April will have only a limited effect on net migration in the medium term but it could become a barrier against future increases in economic migration. That is the conclusion of a paper published today by Migrationwatch. Searchlight Opinion Poll 31 March, 2011 Their research highlighted a remarkable poll which found that only 12% of the public think that immigration has changed their local community for the better. Given that 11% are themselves foreign born this is a remarkably low figure. A summary of their report by Migration Watch UK is at Briefing Paper No 10.24
