On Wednesday, Theresa May will become Britain\u2019s new prime minister. She will oversee the country\u2019s exit from the European Union in accordance with last month\u2019s decision by British voters. Among the key issues that propelled the Brexit vote was public concern about Britain\u2019s inability to control immigration under the terms of EU membership.<\/p>\n
Ms. May has been an outspoken critic of unchecked immigration. Notably, in expressing her concerns, she has managed to do what very few politicians on this side of the Atlantic can seem to master. She has asserted the need for immigration policy to serve the public interest, while avoiding inflammatory and divisive rhetoric.<\/span><\/p>\n
