I'd choose the first option but can't because it would need a small adjustment for me to be honest. I believe in limited controlled immigration in terms of returning British descendants and the importation of skilled people in the academic, technological and various other fields. It's important not to slam the door on people from Europe who share your historical roots as well. If this normal flow isn't maintained you will become inbred ideologically and too inward looking politically.
Britain is simply not a good country for large scale immigration. It is too small, too specific culturally and as an island nation is better off on its own. It is so advanced scientifically and technologically and so powerful economically that immigration is unnecessary. Not so long ago the Consulate would have told prospective immigrants that "Britain has no immigration policy." So who changed all that recently and why?
