Commenting, Alp Mehmet, Vice Chairman of Migration Watch UK, said:
“This is a superficial report. It is critical of government failures but tacitly accepts the current level of immigration, with policy recommendations that would see mass immigration continue indefinitely, contrary to very strong public opinion. The call for students to be removed from the net migration target is undermined by recognition of the additional pressure that the arrival of international students can place on local resources – a very good reason for keeping arrangements as they are.”
