The leaders clash on the Lib Dems' proposed amnesty for illegal immigrants at the final leaders' debate

Comments

I am still worried that the election has not really debated immigration with much of a look at the substance

Issues like
- outsourcers flooding the country with Indian nationals on intra company transfer visas and displacing Brits from the workforce
- far too many people here on work visas (and their families) getting indefinite leave to remain
- far too many people here on work visas allowed to bring large families in
- grad trainee jobs in IT and Telco all being taken by Indian nationals with one years supposed experience and no look in for British grads making it self fulfilling that Brits with experience will not be around in a few years

- sham marriages being used to move large parts of Pakistan and India here in some parts of the country
- too many illegal immigrants yes
- far too little policing of the immigration and employment abuses of the Indian outsourcing slave traders, its pointless having rules when these slave traders can rest assured nobody ever checks up on them
- disparity of conditions for Brits working in other countries, why should we give the red carpet treatment (including free state schools for their kids etc) to work visa holders when Brits get treated much more harshly in their countries?

and so on

why has the media not pushed the parties on this stuff?

Please could you also post the bit when Clegg was squirming over the euro, a delight to behold?
