You’re right, they don’t care. Not a mention of legal migration until it was becoming clear that the media were going to report it. Was all about the small boats, now they need to change the narrative to suit the small minded.It's funny how Tories believe in 'the market' when it suits them.
But not in the case of legal economic migration. Suddenly, they become keen protectionists. People coming here to work are as much driven by market factors as anything else.
It begs the question - why is internal migration OK? Why should some guy from Yorkshire be able to 'take our jobs' in Manchester? What is the difference between our notional Yorkshireman and someone from Belgium or Spain?
To be honest, I don't think they really care one bit. They are just trying to get votes from people who hate foreigners, a pose they have always adopted since the 1960s at least. But they don't actually do anything for various reasons, not least economic ones. That is why immigration is at record levels. Record levels.
