The government is aiming to reduce the overall number of migrants settling in the UK. It’s a problem no government has so far been able to resolve.
In fact, five former Conservative Prime Minister’s, and a few of Labour’s own, have failed at the task. There’s no reason yet to believe it’s possible.
It’s also due to the issue being so complex. Charities argue for a sanctuary system that allows victims of warfare and other disasters to remain here.
However, voters in general prefer it to focus on citizenship, which fits into a broader scheme of things that is more profitable for the economy.
The answer is not going to come from a society that berates or rebukes itself as often as people try to live here. It requires more than such sentiments.
