Immigration Now fourth, we want to deal with the pressures of immigration which have become too great. Of course, we need to do more to control migration from outside the European Union, we are doing that and we will be announcing more measures on that front. But we need to control migration from within the EU too. Now the draft texts represent the strongest package we have ever had on tackling the abuse of free movement and closing down the back-door routes to Britain. It includes greater freedoms for Britain to act against fraud and prevent those who pose a genuine and serious threat from coming to this country. It includes a new law to overturn a decision by the European Court which has allowed thousands of illegal migrants to marry other EU nationals and acquire the right to stay in our country. And it has been a source of perpetual frustration that we can’t impose our own immigration rules on third country nationals coming from the European Union.
