What has immigration got to do with it? The terrorists were all born here.
As to Labour opening the doors, what complete and utter nonsense but even if there was a shred of truth in it, May has had ample opportunity to close the doors. She has been Home Secretary for 6 of the last seven years and PM since the Brexit vote.
What I'd like top know is why you are such an apologist for such obvious incompetence from her.
She has been a Home Secretary unable to do her job due to your beloved EU sticking it's oar in
I am sorry but you really have got to be a bit dim to blame the EU for the Tories failure to control migration. For 2016 we had 250,000 migrants from the EU and 264,000 from outside of it so go on, explain why May, who is obsessed with migration as any kipper failed to cut the latter figure? (For the record the
net figure taking into account those who left the UK was 248,000).
Can you also explain why the highest ever net migration recorded for the UK came under Tory watch peaking at 333,000 in 2015 (with more non EU citizens than EU once again) with May as Home Secretary? Despite promises to reduce it to the tens of thousands? A promise that must have been an outright lie anyway because according the you, being in the EU would prevent this.
There has been no years on record under a Labour government that migration has ever been that high.
It's time to stop blaming others for May's blindingly obvious incompetence. She is even stupid enough to include students as immigrants and refuses to take them out of the equation when they aren't immigrants (because they go home) while in the meantime provide valuable income for UK Universities.
