Migration Watch UK Comment on Today's Immigration Statistics


February 23, 2011

Sir Andrew Green said "These figures are Labour's legacy to Britain - 3.2 million immigrants, including a quarter of a million in their last year alone. Over half a million students in one year with no interviews before arrival and no checks on departure and a Points Based System that has increased immigration, not reduced it. This is what Labour called "managed migration". It would be hard to imagine, after thirteen years in charge, a more shambolic inheritance."
