britain sees major migrant influx can labour party find an effective solution
Britain has seen the highest increase in migrant arrivals in 2023 – more than any other major economy across the globe. The OECD found that 746,900 fresh “permanent-type” migrants arrived in the UK last year.
Students and Ukrainian refugees are not part of the count. Families made up the bulk of the surge. In 2022, Britain recorded 488,400 migrant arrivals. It implies that in 2023, the number rose by a staggering 52.9%. This is a major problem.
This hike is the highest for the richest countries in the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). In a comparable rise, South Korea noted a spike of 50.9% in migrant arrivals from 2022 to 2023.
Only the US received more people last year – 1.2 million moving to the country. The OECD analysis also highlighted that the number of immigrants has more than doubled to pre-pandemic days, rising by 110% from 2019 to 2023.
Leading the ruling Labour government, Prime Minister Keir Starmer promised in his manifesto to get a control on illegal immigration. It has been reported that the PM has been clear that migration has been far too high in recent years and needs to drop.
The number of migrants crossing the English Channel on small boats is likely to hit 40,000 by the end of 2024, according to maritime security sources. Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, has stressed that “mass immigration is making us poorer.”
