In 2019, some 677,000 people moved to the UK as long-term immigrants, for reasons such as work or study. There were also 49,000 asylum applications. This means the 4,000 unauthorised Channel arrivals are equal to less than 1 per cent of all immigrants in 2019. This is what was reported by the BBC, but the figure is far higher than that, and the Principle is being ignored. One ‘unauthorised Channel arrival’ is one less effort in supporting our own Homeless.
