A new report  by the respected Migrationwatch UK organisation has blown holes in the Labour/Con mass immigration policies by proving that the influx of East Europeans will balance within the next three years and thereafter most immigration will be from outside the EU — and could easily be controlled if the government had the political will to do so.

“The impression is being carefully fostered that, since numbers from Eastern Europe are now declining, the public need no longer have concerns about UK immigration levels. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, East Europeans have never accounted for more than a third of the total,” said Sir Andrew Green, chairman of Migrationwatch. “The government are carrying out a major reform of the immigration system but its central feature, the Points Based System, does not limit immigration and is not even intended to do so. The latest population estimates confirm that, in the next 25 years, we will have to build seven cities the size of Birmingham just for new immigrants.  This cannot be allowed to continue unchecked.”

According to Migrationwatch, the inflow of Eastern Europeans will be over within three years and go into reverse. That means the main impact on our population growth will then be from migrants from the rest of the world.

Almost 900,000 Eastern Europeans have come to work in Britain since the EU expanded in 2004, Home Office figures showed last week. But arrivals from the so-called A8 nations, which joined the Union that year, appear to be tailing off. Levels in the second quarter of this year are at their lowest since the start date.

The Migrationwatch study predicts numbers will continue to fall off while those returning home will increase. Inflows are expected to average at around 75,000 to 80,000 a year from 2011 onwards while outflows will be around 100,000, leaving a net outflow of up to 25,000.

The exodus is due to factors including improving economies at home and the fact that those EU members — including Germany and France — that have not yet fully opened their labour market will have to do so by 2011 at the latest. 

Migrationwatch predicts 65 percent of Eastern European migrants will leave Britain within a decade while 35 percent will settle. 

The Home Office has insisted that immigration from outside the EU was no more than 52 percent and that therefore an annual limit would have little effect. But in February, the Government’s own statisticians backed a report by Migrationwatch that found 68 percent of foreigners arriving were from outside the EU.
