In advance of migration figures due on 23rd May, Migration Watch has issued a call for the government to slash net migration to less than 100,000 a year. The absence of any cap whatsoever in recent years allowed the net inflow to reach almost 750,000 in 2022.
Key points are as follows:
Commenting, Migration Watch UK Chairman Alp Mehmet said:
We have seen the immense damage caused by decades of uncapped migration under successive governments. Conservative ministers abandoned the Coalition immigration cap and, as a result, totally lost control of our borders. Our country is already developing serious social strains. The only way forward is now to introduce a cap. We must drive net migration below 100,000 a year. Our message is clear: no cap, no control.
