Correct - yet another important point which is often overlooked. The UK simply cannot continue to absorb migrants at anything like the rate over the last decade. The only question is when we act and I'd prefer we were able to excercise full control as soon as possible so that we can admit the people we really need, give work permits etc. but not continue to confer citizenship rights etc. The idea that we need more migrants to look after an ageing population is self-fulfilling unless we can control who comes here and how long they are allowed to remain.
