System can’t cope with the influx of immigrants

Enthusiasts for mass immigration like to trumpet the supposed economic benefits of the unceasing influx of foreigners to our shores. We are told that migrants boost our prosperity, increase tax revenues and maintain public services.

But such claims owe more to dogma than to reality. All the evidence points in the opposite direction. The British people pay a high price for enduring the enforced transformation of our society. In the schools system alone, the extra bill for coping with the explosion in the number of migrant children is crippling.

According to a study by the Parliamentary group on migration, the number of places required in our primary schools is set to rocket by 96,000 over the next four years and two-thirds is due to immigration. On top of the £1billion cost of providing new schools , at least £200million will annually be needed to run them.

In the housing sector it is estimated that Britain will have to build 2,000 new homes every week just to cope with the consequences of mass migration.

What is now obvious is that the continuing tidal wave of foreign arrivals is simply unsustainable. Our public infrastructure is already buckling and our state services are badly overstretched. Thanks to Labour , Britain is now the second most over-crowded country in the Western world. Our open door has to be slammed shut.
