We have a government who has basically spent the last 10 years saying they will reduce immigration all round to win popular support but have done the opposite.
If you compare what the Tories said their policy position was and what they actually did, I think its fair to say they have been soft, if you judge them against their own stated intentions.
Also, wasn't Rachel Reeves speaking specifically about how the government have basically stopped deporting people who don't have the legal right to remain?
