"I believe that the net in-flow of immigrants, that we know about, is around 150,000 per year. That isn't a huge problem..."

In ten short years that is more than the entire population of Birmingham...
I am not an economist but take away the money going out with the people leaving; the money sent out by those arriving; the cost of infrastructure (housing, schools, hospitals, roads etc etc) ; the cost of benefits, care and schooling and we have one huge problem looming around the corner (leaving aside the issue of integration as the majority of immigration tends to be from a small core of countries)
Don't be fooled by the 'immigrants contribute X amount to the economy' line as those figures include (believe it or not) the children of immigrants and those who have been here for decades. The overall cost cost of newly arrived immigrants is astronomical.
Somebody with guts needs to place a limit based on affordability of immigration. Its done with everything else.
