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
For all the headlines, political rows and television footage, you could be forgiven for thinking that Britain’s immigration problem begins and ends with small boats. It does not.

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.

As we approach freedom day (sort of), the big question for us is how long it will be before immigration reverts to its pre-pandemic levels. We firmly believe that it won’t take very long at all. The problem is, at this important juncture, the government have abandoned the method that has been
The Uk’s Population Is Soaring
New estimates from the ONS put the UK population at a staggering 67 million for the first time ever (a rise of nearly 4 million in a decade and eight million since 2001). Perhaps we have already reached 70 million. We only say that in light of the baffling official underestimate of the number
We’ve Heard All The Tough Talk Before
The Home Secretary has shown courage with the proposals in the Nationality and Borders Bill presented in Parliament this week. The Opposition, NGOs and open borders commentariat lost no time in denouncing the Bill. There is of course no question of our going to the aid of genuine refugees fleeing
British People Want A Reduction In Immigration
We have published new figures showing that nearly six in ten (57%) of the British population think there should be a reduction in immigration. See our polling summary. A Deltapoll conducted earlier this month found that 77% of 2019 Conservative voters wanted a reduction in immigration, as did 72% in areas that the Conservatives newly won
We Can Solve Illegal Channel Crossings
The number of people who have crossed the Channel in 2021 hit 5000 this week. That is more than two-and-a-half times the number who crossed this time last year. If it continues at the current rate, we can expect well over 20,000 coming illegally across the Channel by the end of the year.

Nearly 1,600 people have illegally crossed the Channel since the start of the late May Bank Holiday weekend (see our Channel Tracking Station). On Saturday, a Border Force vessel entered French waters to pick up migrants and take them to Dover. On Tuesday, a further 179 in six dinghies were escorted by Border
