UKIPs Migration spokesman Steven Woolfe MEP : UCLs study covers only a narrow part of the UK migration policy debate. The principal issue for UKIP has never been about whether immigrants are all benefit scroungers. We recognise that immigration can be economically advantageous for the UK. Thats why we are the only major political party proposing a points based immigration system that will accentuate the benefits to Britain while reducing any negative impact. I am very alarmed how the methodology of the report pits migrants from the EU against immigrants from the wider world. I fundamentally disagree with the discrimination of our current system which favours Europeans at the expense of people from the Commonwealth and the rest of the globe. It shouldnt matter which country you are from when applying for a visa. A fair and ethical immigration policy should be based on merit and need.
