Several posts have said this but how does it work? Are you proposing we require tourist visas for some rEU countries?
If not how do you stop someone entering as a tourist but going to job interviews.
Is the Employer not meant to police this?If not how do you stop someone entering as a tourist but going to job interviews.

That is simpler with immigration IMO as you can control it far more simply by refusing access to the country if someone does not have a job.

Immigration officers can ask visitors what they intend to do here and what they do for a living. If the answers don't satisfy then check their luggage. Not foolproof but works well enough.

You fail to realise that:
- immigration is a net benefit, despite what hate filled bile Farage has clogged your brain with, and
First, where has Farage denied that immigration can be a net gain? Of course we want some immigration, but controlled immigration. Immigrants are not a net gain unless they can earn something like £35K per year, however there are some lower paid jobs that it would be to our advantage to allow lower paid immigrant to fill. Seasonal agricultural workers and carers for examples. - immigration is a net benefit, despite what hate filled bile Farage has clogged your brain with, and

You really need to learn the difference between controlled and uncontrolled immigration as your posts on the subject appear unhinged.

I have done. I have also posted a number of times on this thread why the £35k a year figure is rubbish.
Apologies for asking you to repeat yourself but I must have missed this.What benefits and services aren't working immigrants claiming that make them a net contributor at a lower figure?
For example I hear that immigrants are young and don't have as many kids so are less of a drain on education yet my local junior school teaches polish.

Immigrants are younger than the general population when they migrant. However, like us all they get older. Most of the first Polish immigrants will now have been in the UK 7-9 years. Now after working for that time they are having children. Indeed, current birth figures show 2nd highest country of birth for new mother's is Poland.

I've been supplying the Polish Community for 37 years. They have been settled here for almost 70 years. Wonderful people.Mrr T said:

Nope. £35K is a 'safe' estimate. No doubt a young single healthy male need earn a lot less and still be a net contributor, but sooner or later marriage and kids happen. Not to mention that many send a big chunk of their earnings back home, taking that money out of the UK economy.
see http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance...
So you could not be bothered with any objective thinking. The £35k figure is rubbish and remains so. see http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/personalfinance...
It even allocates costs such as defence costs which are likely fixed cost.
Then you finish with the typical stereotype comment about them sending all there money home. Where do you get this rubbish.
Are you one of the great Nigel's troops?

No option I know but difficult to go to war in defence of an ally and win the war but the ally remains captive.

Your posts are getting stranger. Are you suggesting that we remove fixed costs and undertake an analysis of immigration on a marginal costing basis only?It even allocates costs such as defence costs which are likely fixed cost.

A simple google explains that some of that money is repatriated. Hardly a crime and certainly very honourable to support families. But it does exist.

Very true.

Indeed. A difficult situation.When they joined the EU and the UK decided not to apply work restrictions I could not decide if I agreed or not. We really did let them down after WW2.

Maybe the EU are playing a long game, recognising that there is a yawning generation gap in opinion on the EU between older people who want to leave and younger people who are more minded to stay - and positioning themselves to capitalise on this difference in view between old and young voters in the future when demography has 'done its worst'.
the trouble with that train of thought is young people turn into old people and their views change.Mrr T said:

I appreciate your position however I do disagree as it seems like a short term view and according to some newspaper reports the average immigrant wage is in the mid £20k, well below the net contribution figures.
