Election debate 5

Q5: Are you aware that you have become removed from the concerns of the real people esp about immigration, and remember that you are there to serve us, not ignore us.

Brown: I only came into politics to serve. On immigration, we have banned unskilled workers from coming into Britain, and cut the number of semi-skilled people from coming into Britain. We are also training people from the UK to do the jobs. I want to create jobs in this country. Guarentees to everyone under 25 that they will get a job if they are unemployed for an x amount of months. Cameron won't give a figure on the cap.

Cameron: New countries that join the EU should have stronger controls. We need a cap on immigration. Labour's policies not working. Wants to severely reduce immigration. Claims the Lib Dems propose an amnesty on illegal immigrants which does not makes sense.

Clegg: Of course we want to serve you. Immigration has become utterly chaotic under Labour & Tories. We need a border police force, we need a regional policy, and we need to deal with the illegal gangs, and put back in exit controls too. Not advocating a amnesty, but we do need to something about those who are living in the shadows in our society, and the criminal gangs exploit these people - we need to deal with this. We cannot cap immigration because most come from EU. My immigration policy is controversial but needed, we have to deal with it.

Comment: Cameron again does more attacking than actually putting his own policies. Clegg does well at returning the jibes regarding his immigration policy, and turning the tables on Cameron. Brown jumps on the back of both by claiming they are both wrong. Realistically, Clegg's policy is very bold, but the right thing to do for the illegal immigrant that are in this country already and won't leave any time soon - the term 'amnesty' that Brown and Cameron are using is decidedly misleading. Brown is not very convincing regarding his policies, and Cameron is hazy.
