I'm in favour of immigration, believing it to be an essential part of Britain's economic and cultural welfare. I just think it's naive to believe that an unchecked number of people entering any country does that nation's stability much good.
Yes Britain once colonised two thirds of the globe and it still, quite rightly, maintains a level of responsibility to those countries even after they'd gained their independence - with the exception of the US, ironically enough given the supposed 'special relationship' we have. Further more the vast majority of EU citizens relocating in Britain are not from ex-Commonwealth countries at all, but rather those of the former Soviet bloc which gained EU membership in 2004.
