Migration Watch UK Press Comment on the Home Secretary’s speech at the Conservative Party Conference | Migration Watch UK

Commenting, Mr Alp Mehmet, Vice Chairman of Migration Watch UK, said:

These are very welcome steps forward. The number of non-EU migrants coming to the UK is at 190,000 a year, many of whom appear to be students who are not leaving after their courses have finished.

The referendum underlined public concern about immigration so it is only right that the government addresses all aspects of the problem.
