Kemi Badenoch's recent admission that the Conservative government mishandled immigration reflects a recurring pattern; previous attempts to cap migration often led to economic harm.
Historically, attempts to enforce strict immigration targets have posed a significant risk to the UK's economy, particularly in skilled labor and academic sectors.
The 2010 pledge to reduce migration to the tens of thousands was based on flawed calculations, leading to detrimental decisions in migration policy.
With the end of free movement post-Brexit and ongoing discussions about immigration, the challenges of reconciling political pledges with practical economic realities remain.
