Totally. They talk tough when it suits (normally around election time) but beneath all the rhetoric is the same old attitude towards mass immigration and the obsession with social engineering which lies behind it.
Given that Labour hasn't suggested that beefing up security in order to keep illegals penned up in squalor in Calais is wrong, I can only assume they agree with the policy and are more concerned about point scoring with regard to the the PM's chosen collective noun than any human suffering or long term security risk they pose to the UK and what Labour would do about it.
What those who say we should let them in refuse to acknowledge is the undeniable truth that we could let them all in tomorrow and even more would come, heartened by the news that getting into the UK had just been made easier. How many times could/should/would we be able to do this? The only real argument is about numbers isn't it? So my question to the 'let them in' brigade is what will they say to those who continue to come after the acceptable limit we've decided upon has been reached? Telling them we're full won't work, they'll continue to come in ever increasing numbers and they'll be mainly young men who'll increasingly distort the demographics of this country. It's rather like aggressive begging - you start out giving a little food or cash to someone and then they come to expect more. You give more and the word gets around so more people come. More needy people all of whom might deserve help but what do you do? What do you tell those you don't want to help and how would you feel if they decided to intimidate and threaten you into giving them more? Right now that's what we're facing in the EU and nobody seems willing to bite the bullet and acknowledge it can't be allowed to carry on let alone start tackling it.
