Can't people like you have any pity for asylum seekers, why must you continue to treat them as if they are inferior.

He certainly didn't say that. He said it needs to be controlled. I differ with him on that because the figures show that after a massive rise it then fell dramatically. At the moment its on a par with 1997 or under. Also labour has increased the numbers of officers. Basically a lot is being done.
The fact the torys did spend ages on this one issue however (imo) is because they are being chasing votes on this issue without offering any real ways to address it.
1) Which country is going to agree for an off-shore processing centre to be put into their country?
2) A 'quota' on immigrants? That is amazing, which happens if we suddenly need more skilled workers?
3) They already admitted they cant afford a 24 hour security at every port
They keep using 'its not racist to talk about immigration' but no one is accusing them of that, why do they keep using the same term!? It seems to me that this appeals to people who are constantly worried about being called racist? It looks a wink to some people that the Tories are on there side. Also while Chris has explained himself and is genuinely worried about immigration there is no doubt that some people using worries about immigration to hide a under-lying mistrust of racist feelings towards immigrants! (i.e they are getting free houses, they cause disease, and more tellingly everyone thinks of muslims and asians. No one thinks of americans, europeans, or one of the single biggest groups the irish)
