The numbers really were astonishing. The population of England and Wales rose by a staggering 3.5 million between 2011 and 2021, that\u2019s a 6.6% rise in just ten years. Given that we have previously shown that immigration accounts directly and indirectly for more than 80% of the rises in our population (see papers&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.migrationwatchuk.org\/briefing-paper\/492\/impact-of-immigration-in-changing-the-uk-population\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.migrationwatchuk.org\/briefing-paper\/452\/impact-of-immigration-on-uk-population-growth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>), it is clear that at a conservative estimate, some three million of the 3.5 million, is due to immigration. Indeed, there are academics who say that in recent years, nearly all the population increase resulted from immigration and children born to immigrants. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a deep-dive into the census figures please do&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/debate\/article-10967425\/STEPHEN-GLOVER-Theres-huge-new-migrant-issue-unfolding-isnt-debate-it.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">read this wonderful piece<\/a>&nbsp;in the Daily Mail by the peerless Stephen Glover, in which he cites the \u2018excellent Migration Watch\u2019s\u2019 research. As we repeatedly say, our services, NHS, schools and infrastructure are under sustained pressure from overpopulation. Despite this, the government has created a new visa system that makes it easier for people from 80% of the world\u2019s countries to come here and work. All this under the banner of \u2018take back control.\u2019 The public are not stupid Mr Johnson.

With all the head-spinning about Rwanda and the government\u2019s proposed Bill of Rights, we hear very little from the media and political class about the serious risks posed to ordinary citizens by dangerous foreign criminals being allowed to roam free in unsuspecting communities as\u00a0immigration enforcement collapses and borders are there in name only.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.migrationwatchuk.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/censuspic.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6554\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.migrationwatchuk.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/censuspic.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.migrationwatchuk.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/censuspic-300x150.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.migrationwatchuk.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/censuspic-768x384.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/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\/27\/government-inaction-following-asylum-deception-of-remembrance-day-bomber-is-inexcusable\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shameful Government Inaction Following Bomber\u2019s Asylum Deception<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To illustrate just what is at stake if we fail to clamp down on illegal immigration or deport dangerous people, please see our\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.migrationwatchuk.org\/news\/2022\/01\/27\/government-inaction-following-asylum-deception-of-remembrance-day-bomber-is-inexcusable\" target=\"_blank\">blog<\/a>\u00a0on the Liverpool bomber Emad Jamil Al-Swealmeen. The 32-year-old Al-Swealmeen (who grew up in Iraq) is believed to have had two separate asylum claims rejected in 2015 and 2017. Details released in January 2022 showed how Al-Swealmeen told obvious lies in an attempt to stay in the UK. Even the BBC said this raised questions about why he was not removed.
