The main problem though is the sheer number of people arriving at our borders ,mostly from the EU making proper passport checks impossible . This report from the Public Accounts Committee is quite damning of our border controls and although not laying blame on EU membership it's fairly obvious that not having thousands of people rocking up with right of entry will make a huge difference to our ability to control who enters and who doesn't . |
Yes, you'd have thought so wouldn't you. We desperately need to get some control over who's coming into the UK and we can't do that whilst we're tied to the EU.
I still can't understand why the powers that be didn't give every country the right to put a ceiling on migration. Quite why they feel it ought to be a fundamental right for, in theory, millions of people to be able to decide to move to another country is beyond me.
