The current Home Secretary Sajid Javid is relaxing immigration laws despite the majority of the British people wanting to see an end to mass immigration onto the Island Nation. A shock report just published shows the true scale of the problem of Mass Immigration into the UK from Europe and abroad.
The ONS bulletin notes that non-EU net immigration, at +227,000, was twice the level of EU net migration at +101,000 this means that even if immigration from the EU was eliminated entirely the government would still be miles off its manifesto pledges to reduce immigration into the ‘tens of thousands.’
The former Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne’s claims now that the Tories never seriously intended to bring immigration down.
Chairman of Migration Watch UK Lord Green of Deddington said:
These are very disappointing figures. Migration from the EU is still adding 100,000 a year to our population and non-EU net migration is the highest level in a calendar year for 13 years. It’s time for the Government to get serious about reducing immigration instead of caving into every demand of the immigration lobby.”
Migration Watch believes the true figures for EU immigration could actually be much higher than the ONS figures. Migration Watch co-chairman Alp Mehmet said the difference worked out at around 508,000, roughly the equivalent to the population of Edinburgh, Scotland second biggest city and the Scottish Capital.
He also stated:
“Our paper suggests that Brexit could be an even more effective means of reducing immigration than previously thought, This underlines the importance of taking a firm line, so far absent, on lower-skilled migration from the EU.”
