> As we are finding out, to reduce immigration absolute numbers requires increasingly inhumane, bureaucratic, arbitrary and impractical processes. Why does it require any of those things? Immigration to the UK in 1995 was ~228,000 people. In 2017 it was ~550,000 people. Immigration to the UK in 1995 was no more inhumane, bureaucratic, or impractical than it was last year. It would be incredibly easy and practical to go back to 1995 levels. An order of magnitude easier than implementing UBI.
