Lib Dem Clegg considers regional migration limits

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8464064.stm


	Quote: "What has gone wrong in the immigration debate is that we have now had decades of tough talk and administrative incompetence from both Conservative and Labour governments."

That's hard to argue with...


	Quote: He also warned that because more British people worked overseas than there were foreign workers in the UK "if we simply pull up the drawbridge from one day to the next, we might actually find that we get a less welcome reception in other countries too".

Think there's anything to that?


	Quote: Mr Clegg said other countries had developed ways of limiting immigration to certain areas and preventing them from moving on to more "crowded" areas. "It is relatively easy, when people register to work, that they do so with local authorities so you know who is working where," he said. "It is plausible. It works in other countries."

He's going to have to give more detail on all that if anyone's gonna take it seriously...

Re: Lib Dem Clegg considers regional migration limits

so we have free travel from country to country (open borders)

then have local restrictions within these country's
i don't think it will wash, somehow …

Re: Lib Dem Clegg considers regional migration limits

Can't say I agree with Clegg on this one.

However, I do agree that we benefit from open borders. Take the recent example of those Italian building contractors - many British people complained that the building jobs should have gone to local people. What they failed to take into account (other than the lack of skills locally) was that more British people work in Italy than Italians work over here.

I don't see the Italians complaining.
