Report form the BBC, highlights include:
Net migration has stayed near record levels, standing at 335,000 in the year to June, the Office for National Statistics has said.
For the first time, Romania tops the list for the country with the most number of migrants to the UK in 2015 - with 54,000 people coming to live in Britain.
China was in second place with 44,000 followed by Poland at 38,000 and India with 36,000.
But the ONS said there was a "statistically significant" rise in the number of people who were "looking for work", 130,000, compared to 107,000 last year, as opposed to those who had a definite job to go to.
Three questions
Why are we letting in people who have no jobs to go to? (These figure are for migrants not refugees)
Why are we letting in people when we have a housing shortage?
Has Poland got any people left in it?
Please close the door.......

Astonishing numbers, they hoped people would never notice, and when they did they were abused for speaking out.

These figures are just for the ones we know about There must be loads arriving illegally

This is the scary part here..
He added: "Even if net migration was brought down to 265,000 a year the UK population would still be growing at half a million a year, every year for the next ten years. That is the equivalent to another five Birminghams. This is unacceptable to most of the British public." FIVE Birmingham's , can you imagine  |

In Glasgow City Centre there is a Romanian every 50 meters, I am not exaggerating much. Every other empty shop door way has a filthy dirty sleeping bag/cardboard type situation going on. Dragging us down to their level, simple as.

44,000 chinese, wtf are they fleeing?
|
|
By:
how many people emigrated to spain, states, aus, nz etc at same time ?
|
|
By:
No doubt most of them are:
peace loving young children (who look 25); or promising young footballers; or straight A students who will both enrich our culture (o.k. maybe oppress their women and mutilate them and/or abuse white girls along the way, but it's their culture, you know) and contribute to the economy by paying taxes. Or they could be freeloaders. Answers on a postcard. My guess is 300,000 or so promising young footballers. |

By:
Send those young footballers to Crewe

BTW, don't our politicians realise that they are providing fertile ground for the rise of extremists and supporters from within the UK who are sick and tired of being ignored.
Brexit should have been a wake up call |

net migration about 315,000 for the year
but they have no idea as they dont check leavers  |

Britain is surely the most insane country (after Germany) in Western Europe to allow this wholly unnecessary invasion.
We don't have a labour shortage problem (thousands of British-born people supposedly 'looking for work'), but we DO have a major problem with overstretched public services. What on earth are we doing piling massive pressure on them with these additional users? The next time you hear some cretin blaming "the savage Tory cuts" on public services like the NHS, remind them of the insane levels of waifs and strays from around the world that the INTERNational Health Service (and other public services) increasingly deal with. Little wonder why this country voted for Brexit, to try and reclaim our borders. |

you get the loons keep saying their a tax plus for the country but as 80% of them dont pay tax and are entitled to in work benefits its hardly the point,as an immigrant working for a hedge fund or,payette ,martial,s wages could account for about 20,000 low skilled football;er are the likes of sportsmen,hedge fund managers,150 grand health service managers including in the figure if so anyone repeating this their a net benefit tosh is taking the pish

if free movement was stopped do you think the farmers would a. close their farms down b, do something to attract uk workers, if the answers a i,ll show my arris in a farmers field |

By:
If the UK has become isolationist, racist, xenophobic, protectionist, insular and basically **** since the EU Ref, then why do so many people want to come here?
|
|
By:
Boris wants free movement of people.
Davies is willing to keep paying money to the EU. May says Brexit means Brexit. A shambles. |
|
By:
Agreed. The public said they wanted to leave the EU.
Not gonna happen anytime soon. Fudge. Political boll0x 1 Democracy 0. |

We have been growing at aprox 1/3 million people a year since 2001, coming from EU countries(mostly from Eastern Europe
and the Balkans). We cannot stop them until we activate article 50, then it will take two years. I understand it will be activated in March. We are in recession, we cannot take these people. They come from somewhere which is even poorer than us, but nevertheless we must protect ourselves, I see no choice. Why I voted for Brexit. |
|
By:
We are under no obligation to allow people in from outside the EU. So I suggest we do not, unless they have a skill we are short of.
Seems the most sensible thing to do. |

The birth rate of migrants/peace loving Islamic filth will mean a population of 100m is on the cards.

I think most people would be more welcoming of migrants if our country had an infrastructure moved with it or was even ahead of it, at the moment public transport, schools, hospitals and housing are 20 years behind.

or do they send brasses, pickpockets, beggars, ATM scammers and various other assorted criminals? No. A lot of the pickpockets, beggars and professional thieves will be romany gypsies who the Romanians themselves don't particularly like. They are highly unlikely to ever be the hardworking type able to integrate and be a benefit. |

Two child rule on new child tax credits claims comes in from April 2017.
That will deter those who plan to breed, and thereby create a more numerous next generation that believes a 1st millennium holy book is the literal and perfect word of a creator. Migration for work and study is a success story - and despite the alleged shortages, not speaking english as a first language, not being able to live with parents, the EU migrants do seem to find work and housing. Roll on the 'Norway option'. |

are these the same ones that Vaz said weren't coming here it was all scare stories?

They find work by working for less than our own workers....and you should see how many they can cram into a house. This impacts on our own workers, particularly people at the bottom. |

The World has been in recession since the Credit Crunch. I don't know if/when it will ever recover?
It has certainly exposed the EU as a flawed model. If it had kept to its original tight rules, we would not be having as many problems as we are at the moment. It is alright to talk about building an infrastructure for Migrants. But this costs money, which I do not think we have! |

By:
They haven't bothered increasing services and infrastruture for the 3 million extra people over the last ten years, bit late now.

It was sad to see the UKIP immigtation minister saying they would put a curb on this but allow certain skilled people of any creed or colour into the country. ffs this is the UK, can we not train up skilled people?
I watched part of the programme on the BBC about the last mine to close in this country. Some of miners even in their fifties are now BT engineers.. |

I agree that is sad stewarty b. We should look to train more of our own young people, well of any age as you say.
