This age old problem of Immigration always comes to the fore when Elections are looming ! The next Parliamentary Election in the UK is on May 7, 2015 and Immigration is clearly on the agenda of Debates for Candidates !
Theresa May the Home Secretary, can change very little before the next election ! The EU basic rules must first be changed ! If they are not changed, Britain must leave the EU before it can apply its own chosen "selective immigration" Policy !
Not one Person or one Country is honest and clear when asked to define the ideal Immigration Policy ! In fact it would be be easier to list all the "pitfalls" or "exceptions" rather than to define one perfect policy !
The ideal Policy for ALL countries would be "SELECTIVE IMMIGRATION" which would give each country the right to decide whether a "would be immigrant" can stay or not, wherever he comes from and for whatever reason !
Alas this is not permitted by current EU "freedom of movement" principles ! Also the EU does not have a watertight system that stops immigrants before they reach a chosen EU country. Many pay "People smugglers" and then perish at sea before they arrive, a sad fate reported only too often in the Press !

All parties in Britain know this ! Everyone has known for a long time that David Cameron wants to open the Debate in the EU to modernise several out of date principles before a referendum on whether "to stay in or get out" of the EU !
All parties will hammer the Conservatives on Immigration, but "WHY" ? Do they have a better future policy on Immigration ? One should not imagine either that David Cameron will be all alone when he attacks "out of date" fundamental EU principles ! Other countries will be ready to help !
