What will a Conservative Government mean for Immigration in the UK

The way in which David Cameron has approached the subject of immigration has been very careful. He leaves his shadow ministers to do most of the dirty work, only really commenting on the «issue» when there is something so outrageous to the British public that he must (such as several thousand illegal immigrants working for the security services). However that is not to say that the Conservatives don't have a comprehensive scare-mongering platform for Immigration.

Their main gripe: Population growth. The population is of the Great Britain is expected to reach 70 million within the next 20 years, something that strikes fear into the heart of Middle England. It is estimated that there will soon be more pensioners than workers, meaning that the social services system will be under more pressure and that the country will become more crowded and more diverse.

None of these are problems however. An increase in immigration will mean able-bodied qualified young men and women will come and support the ageing population through their tax contributions and the services they provide in Health, Education, civil authorities, etc. Diversity is a non-starter, already 1 in 10 children in Britain are mixed race, not to mention the UK being comprised of 4 distinct national groups along with many other strong minority communities. And crowding, well let us remember that there is a huge amount of empty land in the UK which is neither protected nor build on.

And lets not blame Conservatives alone for this fear-invoking prediction, NuLabour Immigration Minister has pledged to not let this happen!
