Mass immigration is not actually stimulating the economy and is a huge drag on public services and the housing sector, a study finds, as the neoliberal orthodoxy that has dominated both of Britain’s major political parties comes under fire. It turned out that.
The Center for Policy Studies (CPS) report, co-authored by former immigration secretary Robert Jenrick, found that despite promises to the public to reduce the influx of foreign nationals after Brexit, the so-called Conservative Party It has been revealed that the country is imposing a tax on immigrants. — not correlated with increased per capita economic growth.
Globalist mass immigration advocates argue that mass immigration increases tax revenues and boosts overall GDP, thereby giving governments something to talk about, but on an individual basis it’s a different story. .
Data from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) shows that while UK GDP grew by 0.1% last year amid record levels of immigration, GDP per capita fell by 0.8%, much lower than the G7 average of 1.2%. It fell below. The UK has the second highest level of population growth, despite large-scale immigration being the main driver. telegraph paper I will report.

The CPS report says: “If the kind of mass migration we have seen is really great for the economy, we have to ask ourselves why we don’t see it in our GDP per capita data. “It has said.
The think tank said former Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s post-Brexit immigration reform promised to focus on “highly selected” skills-based migrants, but in reality the system left many people unable to work. He also pointed out that the country is allowing large numbers of non-working foreigners to enter the country. They have low-paying jobs because the barriers to entry are set catastrophically low. The report found that of the net two million migrants who came to the UK from non-EU countries in the past five years, only 15% arrived with the main purpose of working.
The report also found that the rush to import people from around the world comes at an economic cost. For example, immigrants from Spain earn on average 40 percent more than immigrants from Pakistan or Bangladesh. Meanwhile, migrants from the Middle East, North Africa and Turkey aged 25 to 64 were almost twice as likely to be “economically inactive” than native-born Britons.

In addition to not benefiting economically, the average Briton is also suffering from a large amount of debt, including public service resources being spent on foreigners and soaring inflation in the housing market as demand continues to rise. They are also suffering from the costs of immigration.
The CPS report said net migration accounted for 89% of the 1.34 million-unit increase in the “housing shortage,” which tracks the number of homes not built compared to population growth over the past decade.
Mass immigration is also a major factor in rising rents, with some estimates suggesting that rents will rise by an average of 10% in 2022 due to the influx of immigrants. Urban rents have been particularly affected, with more than two-thirds (67%) of private rents in London being paid to foreign-born people.
In addition to artificially raising housing costs, the government’s mass immigration policy is also putting a huge strain on the National Health Service (NHS), with GP surgery volume expected to increase by 4% from 2011 to 2021. It has only increased. The UK’s population increased by 6.6%, again largely as a result of immigration.
Commenting on the findings, former Immigration Secretary Robert Jenrick said: ‘The government has used the time before the general election to deliver a disastrous post-Brexit liberalisation, betraying the clear wishes of the British people to reduce immigration. It would be inexcusable if we did not restore it.” ”

The report found that the Home Office was “inadequate” and “unwieldy to function effectively”, calling for the government to split the Home Office’s responsibilities and create a new one that focuses solely on immigration. He called for the creation of a government department.
They could also impose hard caps on legal immigration, reducing admissions to tens of thousands of people from a net of about 250,000 last year, as was the case with the Australian model from which the British system is said to have been inspired. insisted.
The Conservative Party, which has been in power for 14 years, previously promised the public it would reduce net immigration to tens of thousands of people, a pledge that was ultimately rescinded by Boris Johnson. In 2017, George Osborne, the former Chancellor of the Exchequer and Prime Minister David Cameron’s right-hand man, admitted that the party leadership had no real intention of achieving its goals, saying that the party leadership then and now He said he believes mass immigration is a problem.
