Immigration Is Placing A Great Strain On The Uk

The Government’s new Migration Impacts Forum confirms that mass immigration is placing a huge strain on housing, health, education and policing in virtually all regions of the UK.

It claims that immigrants contribute £6 billion a year to the economy; but fails to mention any costs to the British taxpayer. David Coleman, Professor of Demography at Oxford University, quoted in the Daily Mail puts the annual bill to the taxpayer at almost £8.8 billion.

Sir Andrew Green, Chairman of Migrationwatch was interviewed about the Forum’s conclusions on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme this morning.
