Brits want a tougher approach on UK borders. They want legal migration reduced by hundreds of thousands and want illegal migration stopped.
A study released today by Migrant Watch UK asserts that the annual number of illegal migrants in Britain is 105,000. However, only one-third of those are removed. This means that there is an annual rise of around 70,000 illegal immigrants in Britain.
The figures from the Home Office reveal that the year ending June 2018 only 45 per cent of those leaving detention were returned from the UK, whilst the majority, 55 per cent, were bailed or granted leave to remain in the country. And those in detention from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, only 22 to 28 per cent were returned to their home countries.
Migration Watch UK’s chairman, Lord Green, has stated:
“The scale of illegal immigration to Britain is a scandal that has gone on for too long. It undermines public acceptance of genuine refugees and is damaging to community relations generally.
The government must not cave in to opposition attempts to ‘weaponise’ Windrush against legitimate and effective measures to tackle overstaying.
These measures are supported by nearly 80 per cent of the public, and rightly so.”
Migrant Watch UK have also divulged claims by multiple sources, including two by former senior Home Office officials, that there are more than one million illegal immigrants in the UK.
