PM David Cameron is determined to reach the net migration aim of having under 100,000 enter the country, despite Home Secretary Theresa May's warning that this is an unrealistic target: “It is of course unlikely that we’re going to reach the tens of thousands by the end of the Parliament,” Mrs May told 'The Telegraph' in a statement. “Why is that? It’s because we’ve seen increasing numbers of people coming from across Europe, partly because our economy is doing better than other economies in Europe." However Cameron remains passionate about honouring his party's manifesto which fuelled the Tory's triumph back in 2010. Annual net migration figures will be printed on the 27th November and are likely to challenge the Prime Minister's goal.
