With immigration discussions overwhelming the U.S. airwaves, it becomes quite easy to disregard immigration issues in other parts of the world--namely in the U.K. Similar to what was seen in the 1920's with imposition of quotas due to the Immigration Act of 1924, many Britons exchange a similar sentiment that there should be "an annual cap on immigrants coming from outside the EU," according to the U.K. Press Association. This idea, among the others presented, would assist England in cutting down their net migration numbers from the current 242,000 down to "tens of thousands." It should be interesting to see how these ideas unfold and how they have an effect on Europe, and the world as a whole.
