Parties of all colours need to continue immigration to:-
a) help keep up a level of unemployment, just so the great unwashed know their place and don't get too upity.
b) maintain the old-age pension, which is a giant Ponzi scheme that if you or I tried to start would be shut down for being illegal.
c) maintain a level of social unrest so people don't realise just how they're being taken advantage of.
There are loads more reasons, but the bottom line is that it isn't in their interest to stop it, no matter what those that elect them want.
