Should we restrict the number of migrants into the UK from poorer countries or new Member States?
I think we should have better checks and controls on movements both in and out of the country for securities, counter terrorism purposes as well as exercising some limits on economic migrants. But we have a treaty obligation to free movement of people, goods, services and capital within the EU and I think it would be a mistake to try to stop that movement. Partly because I suspect it would be difficult to enforce but mainly because I believe we benefit. For those who believe that all the Poles, Czechs and others from new member states shouldnt be allowed in nor stay I say shame on you. They come from countries only recently liberated from communist economies, they take jobs by and large that our people dont want or cant do and I am sure they will want to return home in due course. And if they dont all return then lets remember the contribution made to our country by all the Poles who came here during the last war or the Hungarians who managed to escape to the West in 1956.
