Asians back immigration laws

Most Asians in Britain feel the immigration laws are either fair or not tough enough, according to a poll published today. The verdict, from 61 per cent of those asked in a MORI poll for the Asian television channel, ZEE TV, explodes the myth that Asians fear crackdowns on asylum- seekers and immigrants.

The poll was the first time members of Britain's 1.5 million-strong Asian community had been asked in detail about their political attitudes and allegiances.
