Immigration: How should we react?

An interesting article by Samuel Brittan in the FT. He focuses on the current debate about immigration, making an important distinction between asylum seekers and economic migrants. Some really good analysis of the good and bad aspects of immigration in the light of the likely net immigration of 20 million people into the UK over the next half century. He ends with the view that 'If a more restrictive policy towards economic migrants were the price of a more humane treatment of asylum seekers, it would be worth paying.'
