I count myself amongst those that want a fairer immigration policy - the same rights for immigrants from all countries. This is something that no EU country has. It is effectively prohibited by EU membership. An EU member country could achieve fairness by running an open door immigration policy for the whole world, but of course no country wants to do that.
There is no conflict in wanting to run a fair immigration policy and wanting to reduce the net migration figure - the two policies are independent and in no way mutually exclusive.
Unfortunately, history shows us that immigration policies that have an aim to reduce migration tend neither to be fair or achievable. There is very little that is fair or just or moral in our existing non EU immigration policies and I have never trusted any Conservative Party to be able to write such a thing.
