Britain a magnet for 2m immigrants

Two million migrants will arrive in Britain over the next 10 years unless restrictions are introduced, according to a new report out today.

The campaign group, Migration Watch UK, believe that asyum seekers and illegal immigrants have led to the doubling of net non-EU immigration levels.

Sir Andrew Green, chairman of Migration Watch, said: "The scale of inward migration is now so great as to be contrary to the best interests of every section of our community. The continual refusal of the main political parties to address these issues can only lead to te rise of the extreme Right, to which we are strongly opposed."
