Rising illegal immigration, which saw more than 35,000 people reported coming without permission by air, boat and lorry during 2021, only adds to the total. It also underlines the horrifying reality that there is scant, if any, control over who is coming in \u2013 remember that 75,000 who have come in boats and lorries often destroy documentation so it is impossible to verify identities with any certainty. 2021\u2019s unprecedented influx (mass immigration on a whole new scale) makes a mockery of the clear 2016 vote to reclaim our borders. In the midst of all this, study visas shot up to the highest level ever and refugee resettlement has skyrocketed to more than 100,000 in one year. After months of flummery from ministers about getting tough, the numbers show that we haven\u2019t done any such thing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.migrationwatchuk.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/008e2b5e-376b-c8c3-2b33-52b2fc609338-1024x512.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.migrationwatchuk.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/008e2b5e-376b-c8c3-2b33-52b2fc609338-1024x512.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.migrationwatchuk.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/008e2b5e-376b-c8c3-2b33-52b2fc609338-300x150.png 300w, https:\/\/www.migrationwatchuk.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/008e2b5e-376b-c8c3-2b33-52b2fc609338-768x384.png 768w, https:\/\/www.migrationwatchuk.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/008e2b5e-376b-c8c3-2b33-52b2fc609338-1536x768.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.migrationwatchuk.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/008e2b5e-376b-c8c3-2b33-52b2fc609338.png 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Blog of the week<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.migrationwatchuk.org\/news\/2022\/01\/11\/london-becomes-the-most-congested-city-on-the-planet\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">London Becomes The Most Congested City On The Planet<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The onward march of liberalisation of our borders has consequences. Road congestion in London is worse than in Paris, Rome, Berlin and Madrid, with traffic moving at 3.7mph during evening rush hour. The UK was already a crowded country yet our population is not only growing rapidly (increasing by an average of 430,000 per year)\u00a0but its make-up is also changing at a more rapid pace than has been generally understood. 90% of population growth since 2017 has been driven by immigration \u2013 directly or indirectly. Since 2001,\u202f immigration has added roughly one million to our population every three years.
