Time to change the rules of migration

One of No Borders | 07.01.2013 17:05 | Migration

With the fantastic news today that more than 863000 people are living 'sans papiers' in the UK proving once and for all that migration controls do not work we are calling on the UK government to abandon all restrictions on immigration and open the country up to all just like it once was.

10,000 people who have been living in the country for at least 14 years have already been told they are being given indefinite right to stay and it is time to extend that to all.

No Borders workers in France have already informed people there that once they are in the UK they can now make a good case under the 14 year rule to never leave which we hope will encourage many more to try to enter the country.

This wonderful news about the growth of a diverse Britain shows that the UK is beginning to repay its Colonial legacy. We call on the government to end restrictions once and for all.
