Migration 'bounce' warning

Content: People should only be allowed to settle in this country under these rules if they can pay their way, live by our rules and contribute value to our country. We need strict controls, properly enforced, and all of the mainstream parties should agree on that. "However, there is still a massive gap between the Tory-led Government's rhetoric and reality. New rules will have no impact if they are not properly enforced." Migration 'bounce' warning
UK Independence Party home affairs spokesman, Gerard Batten MEP, said the government was "posturing" on immigration because any measures cannot apply to EU citizens. He said: " The solution is for Britain to take back control of its immigration policy so that we can decide who we admit, for how long, and under what conditions. We can only do that we leave the EU and repudiate the European Court of Justice." The government says it is making progress towards its plan to cut net migration to tens of thousands a year - the balance between those arriving and those leaving. But on Wednesday Oxford University experts predicted that even if ministers hit the target by the end of the Parliament, net migration could very quickly "bounce" up again.
