UK - Call for immigrant amnesty

British Liberal Democrats have weighed in with a new policy position on illegal immigration in the United Kingdom. Last week they issued a paper and statements coming out in favor of a limited, "earned amnesty" for some illegal immigrants. Much tighter border controls would also be part of the new initiative. If adopted, it could affect between 300,000 and 900,000 estimated 'irregular' residents currently in the UK.
