Beware The Burnhamwave
Britain is still living with the consequences of the “Boriswave”: the unprecedented surge in migration produced by Boris Johnson’s post-Brexit immigration system. Net migration peaked at 944,000 in the year to March 2023. Although it…

Weak Budgets and Even Weaker Borders
This week, the Chancellor told us his Budget would bring “breathing space for today, fresh hope for the future”. On immigration, it is anything but. Buried in the small print is a collection of liberalising…

Dither, Delay and Pay The Price
The Home Office has found a novel way to deal with a deadline: ignore it. The Critic reports that the internal 14 October date for announcing Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) reforms has disappeared, with…

Stop This Madcap Rush Towards National Hara-Kiri
For years, politicians, officials, corporate lobbyists and many academics have insisted our nation’s prosperity depended on ever-escalating levels of mass migration. Migration Watch has argued against this and for years said that low-skill, low-pay immigration…

Robots, Not Migrants
Britain cannot build a prosperous future by propping up inefficient, outmoded and struggling businesses by giving them a free hand to import cheaper migrant labour. For too long, politicians have gone along with employers’ demands…

The Shabanawave Approaches
Whatever moniker it ends up with, we have no doubt that the ‘safe and legal routes’ for asylum seekers announced by Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood this week, will not stop the boats. Nor will it have…

Don’t Get Distracted

A Serious Problem Deserves A Serious Debate
There was something revealing about our Chairman, Alp Mehmet’s, appearance this week before the Public Bill Committee considering the Government’s Immigration and Asylum Bill.

The NHS Must Break Its Dependence On Overseas Recruitment
Overseas recruitment allows governments to postpone the investment needed to attract and retain staff here, and should be treated as a policy failure to overcome, rather than justification to continue the failure.
Learn MoreTragic And Avoidable
With the horrendous, if inevitable, tragedy in the English Channel this week with the loss of 27 lives on Wednesday – our politicians and senior officials have a lot to answer for. The situation has been allowed to take root, while the criminal gangs have been left to develop their
Immigration Data Blind Spots
This week we highlighted yet another instance of the government all but giving up on enforcement of immigration law. A recent paper by the Independent Chief Inspector of Borders and Immigration (ICIBI) showed that more than 70,000 migrants who were previously required to report to the immigration authorities have been let off reporting in person
Our Border Is Not Secure
The news that the Liverpool bomber was a rejected asylum seeker prompted some tough questions this week. The Remembrance Day horror, which could have been much worse, is the latest example of the dangers and deadly risks posed by lax and negligent immigration enforcement policies. It is totally irresponsible and only jeopardises
Control’s Pointless With No Reduction
There are increasing calls from big business and the immigration lobby for ever more loosening of the visa system despite the already comprehensive weakening of the system with the introduction of the points-based system. Indeed, the Chancellor made a virtue of it in his budget speech on Wednesday. Alleged labour shortages,
Crossings Surge, Arrests Plummet
We released a new analysis which remarkably showed that – even as illegal arrivals by boat have skyrocketed, with the 2021 total now surpassing the 20,000 mark (as we forecast back in June, see here in The Sun) – there has been a fall in the number of UK arrests of those connected with
