That's correct. But, on the flipside, at some point a society has to just accept immigrants as part of itself too.
The issue I have with regulation it can results in fuck all rights. See the AUS system. You can be there for decades, but if you have no job you quickly you get kicked out.
We already know EU immigrants pay in the pot, and claim fewer unemployment benefits than natives. And the racist bingo cards of muslims/no english skills also don't fly. But we have been a convenient pissing pole.
If the discussion of regulation isn't had with a celebration/acceptance too then the xenophobia/racism will never be far away. And the regulation crowd rarely goes together with the celebration crowd (bar some businesses who want diversity and celebrate it)
