  That is another bug-bear Tom but not relevant to the specific issue discuss of non-EEA immigrants. Labour also dropped three separate laws when they came to power that had an immediate impact on non-EEA immigration. You can see that impact on immigration graphs, I did put one up on my blog some years ago, cant find it now.
  
  If we did not have an influx of cheap foreign labour the law of supply and demand would increase the unskilled wages - we can see that the real reason for Labour's counter productive minimum wage was because of their open door policy that would otherwise have forced low-end wages down.
  
  Bern - An open door policy to our small islands does not help conditions in the third world, we cannot take all the world's oppressed. At the end of the day they will have to sort out their own problems and, yes, if we get our economy right we can help in that, but we need to look after ourselves first in order to be able to do so.
