Over £9bn leaves the British economy each year due to migrants sending money back home. One in three non-European migrants are sending remittances to family and friends abroad. This is the hidden cost of mass migration.

Yesterday the Home Office released its annual accounts for 2023/24. It spent £5.4bn on asylum support, resettlement, and accommodation. But just £1.2bn on Homeland Security. The system is broken and no longer works to protect the British public.

Migrants can apply for settled status after just five years. This allows them to claim benefits, bring over family members, and work in any role. 95% of settlement applications are approved by the government. Today’s numbers show we are sitting on a ticking time bomb.

Tomorrow, the government will release statistics showing that mass migration is not benefitting Britain’s economy. In fact, it is making us all poorer. The OBR must be held to account for its role in perpetuating this myth. @cfdownes_

This deal hands far too many concessions to Indian workers - awarding an exemption from national insurance contributions. We are through the looking glass. HM Government is now raising taxes on Brits whilst slashing them for migrants.

The notion an illegal immigrant can be in Britain “too long” to be deported is to reward years of lawbreaking. He came to our country without permission. He should not be allowed to stay. We need to have a serious conversation about immigration tribunals.

It is welcome news that the govt will now publish some data on migrant crime. This follows several reports by the CMC revealing the scale of the crisis. We shouldn’t be awarding visas to nations that bring high levels of violence, sexual assault and drug offences to Britain.

Our immigration judges will always put the interests of Britain last. We need a clear-out of the system.

Open-border fanatics like @jdportes get even the basics of the immigration debate wrong (confusing “foreign nationals” with “foreign born”). These are the people who’ve determined policy since the 1990s. It is no wonder we are in the mess that we are.

Portes is a liar. Here are the facts:. DWP data shows 1m foreign born benefit claimants. Portes "disputes" these figures but see the link below. An FOI by the Centre for Policy Studies shows that in 2023 households containing a foreign national claimed £7.5bn in UC. Why are.

The British economy has absolutely no need for Indian musicians, chefs or yogis. The fact the govt has agreed to these measures is indicative of how little they care about this country. Don’t forget - they’re now taxing Brits whilst giving Indian migrants tax exemptions.

Foreign nationals accounted for up to a quarter of sexual offence convictions between 2021 and 2023. Foreign nationals are convicted for sexual assault at a rate 71% higher than British nationals. These are the facts the establishment doesn’t want you to hear.
Last night, at a debate in London, I caused a total uproar by suggesting mass immigration is putting British women and girls at risk. "Shame!", they cried, in Kensington. Here are the number of sexual offences for every 10,000 people in the UK:. British: 6.Moldova: 38.Chad: 40
