"More than three-quarters of Britons want to see jobless immigrants forced to leave UK"

"More than three-quarters of Britons want to see jobless immigrants forced to leave UK"

So reports The Mail:

"The Government has failed to 'get control' of the issue of immigration, ministers admitted today.

Phill Woolas, the Immigration Minister, said he was not surprised by findings of a poll which showed that nearly eight out of ten people believe all unemployed foreign migrants should be asked to leave the UK.

Mr Woolas said the the British people would never be comfortable with immigration until they believe ministers have a firm grip on the nation's borders.

Mr Woolas said: 'The poll figures are not a surprise. They are a concern, and in significant part they are because the public don’t believe that the government has got control.'"

The funniest line of Phil Woolas's is:

"He told GMTV the UK's borders were tougher than that between the United States and Mexico: "We are, on the whole, stopping people getting through," he said."

Ooh that's tough...
