"The terms differ - 'Selective Migration' in France, 'Managed Migration' in the UK, 'Labour Migration' in Germany - but call it what you will, central to the debate is the idea that we are moving away from the zero immigration of Fortress Europe into a new era of liberalised immigration controls. Yet, the truth of the matter is that the Fortress Europe approach that characterised the end of the twentieth century is, today, not so much abandoned as refined."
