To be honest, you may not like the idea of asylum seekers, but they are necessary to solve the employment question in the EU - yes, EVEN BRITAIN!
What I mean is that Blair wants everyone to go to university, get a degree. But then who does the skilled jobs? By this I mean plumbers, electricians, the list goes on. Hell even manual labour - or shock, horror, the jobs you would never dream of doing.
With all this education floating around, and the deskilling of work in the 20th and 21st centuries, we need all the help we can get. Don't believe me? Go to your university library, and borrow a book by Harry Braverman, printed in 1974 - it's still the authoratitative text on this subject.
