Also we always had the power to control it, look at how France controls immigration even from other EU countries.
Well 300k+ a year is a city the size of Cardiff - it's not nothing. In 20 years that is 10% of the population. It is quite high even compared to other westen countries. Whether that is a problem is another matter of course.
