Vince Cable says PM will miss immigration target
London (AFP) - Prime Minister David Cameron will fail in his pledge to slash net migration to Britain to "tens of thousands" by 2015, Vince Cable predicted on Tuesday, as a poll showed a large majority of Britons want immigration to fall.
The business Secretary, whose Liberal Democrat party shares power with Cameron's Conservatives, said the target was "not sensible" because Britain cannot control migration from the European Union or the number of Britons returning from abroad.
Cable, who has a history of speaking out against his coalition partners on immigration, said his party had never signed up to Cameron's "arbitrary" bid to reduce net migration to under 100,000 before the next general election in May 2015.
"Setting an arbitrary cap is not helpful. It almost certainly won't achieve the below-100,000 level the Conservatives have set," he told BBC television. . . .
The UK, France, Canada, the US and other Western nations are in their final decades as first-world nations. People like Cameron and Bush are so much worse than people like Clinton and Obama because they pretend to care about those who overwhelmingly voted for them, hoping that the Third World would not eat their grandkids' grandkids alive, as in ZB and SA.
