The trouble is that Cameron has made concessions on immigration the cornerstone of the argument for staying in the EU as opposed to the economic benefit.

He should have the courage to say that even if we did leave the EU any fall in immigration could be marginal because we would still need to bring in construction workers to complete infrastructure problems, we would still hope that French bankers would move here and, if the economy is strong, a large proportion of immigrants will actually be returning British emigrants.

If net immigration did fall after Brexit it would probably because of the relocation of the HQs and operations of MNCs and the resulting slowdown in economic growth rather than any new restrictions on incomers.
