  1. Pointing out that the needs of the economy should not be presumed ahead of time isn't being wooly. It merely acknowledges that setting numbers ahead of time is putting headlines ahead of effective policy We definitely need more effective policy, and less government by headlines!

  2. If you take the xenophobia out of immigration, the goal becomes simple - you support existing citizens with training to get jobs, fill any remaining gaps with immigration Anything else is putting ideology over practicality
