Breitbart:

The number of refugees resettled in Britain through official schemes has increased by 56 times over the past year compared to the average over the the previous five years, according to a report from Migration Watch UK.

The think tank, which advocates for reasonable border control against mass migration said that direct refugee immigration to the UK over the past year totalled approximately 240,000 people, up from an average of around 4,200 per year between 2015 and 2020.

The massive increase in refugee resettlement in Britain was driven in large part by Ukrainians and Hong Kongers fleeing their homelands. According to the Migration Watch analysis, around 150,000 refugees from Ukraine have arrived in Britain since the start of 2021, while another 120,000 people have used the British National Overseas (BNO) route offered to those fleeing from Hong Kong after the brutal crackdown on freedoms by the Chinese Communist Party to resettle in the UK.

An additional 21,450 refugees have come to Britain from Afghanistan following the country’s fall to the Taliban after the bungled withdrawal from the country by the Biden administration.

The think tank noted that “worryingly” the government has so far been unable to identify which specific legal routes those fleeing from Afghanistan have used to get to the UK, highlighting the ramshackle efforts during the chaotic fall of the country.

In comments provided to Breitbart London, Migration Watch UK Chairman Alp Mehmet said: “The latest Migration Watch analysis has revealed a remarkable 56-fold increase in resettlement compared to 2015-2020 levels. This after the government had clearly promised voters that overall immigration would come down.

The guy running the biggest anti-immigration think tank in Britain is a Turk.

I just wanted to point that out.

“The breath-taking scale of resettlement has major implications for communities and involves large amounts of public funds being spent on accommodation (including hotels) and places ever greater pressure on services. It is at an unsustainable level. We must control our borders and reduce immigration without delay.

“Meanwhile, over a year after the Taliban seized power, the government still can’t tell us the numbers who have arrived respectively via each of the specific resettlement routes from Afghanistan. This failure to release adequate data hugely damages transparency and accountability and is a disservice to the hard-pressed taxpayer.”

Security concerns were raised about the vast numbers of Afghans evacuated in the wake of the unilateral American withdrawal from the country, with the UK Border Force admitting last year that many Afghans were arriving in the country with forged identity documents.

Following reports of people on no-fly terror lists being evacuated into Britain — apparently in error — Breitbart London questioned the Home Office as to how many Afghans who were brought to Britain turned out to be either on watch lists or persons previously deported from Britain, but the Home Office replied that it was “not in the public interest” to reveal such data.

In addition to the massive influx of refugees through legal channels, the UK asylum system has already been strained by the migrant boat crisis in the English Channel, in which nearly all of the illegal aliens who arrive by people-smuggler boats from France claim asylum in the UK, despite coming from a safe European country where they should apply for asylum.

According to analysis conducted by the PA news agency, some 75,628 migrants have been recorded making the illegal journey, with another 856 arriving on Monday, marking the fifth straight day of illegal landings.

In addition to record levels of illegal immigration and soaring numbers or resettled refugees, legal immigration has also jumped to new highs, with Boris Johnson’s government handing out a record 1.1 million visas to foreigners last year.

Remember when John Cleese said it was bad that London was no longer white, and all those colored people came out and complained?

It turns out he was right.

Apparently, the British chose to live in a nonwhite country. They must have wanted it, because Britain is a democracy, and that means people only get what they ask for.

A surge in applications from migrants is fuelling the Passport Office crisis, it emerged last night.

A record 207,989 foreigners were handed citizenship last year – a huge rise on the 82,000 seen in the year 2000.

Their requests for papers are contributing to the delays at the Passport Office, which is struggling to clear a backlog of 500,000 applications.

The holiday plans of thousands of families are being wrecked by the failure of their passports to arrive on time. Last year only 3 per cent of those who asked for citizenship were rejected and two million migrants have been awarded it since 2000.

Once citizenship is granted, a first passport application usually follows – a time-consuming bureaucratic exercise that involves a face-to-face interview.

Whistleblowers say these first-time applicants are being pushed to the back of the queue as Passport Office staff try to get to grip on the crisis.

Alp Mehmet, of Migration Watch, said: ‘The moment you become a British citizen you can get a British passport and I suspect many of those 207,000 will have and that is certainly something that adds to the difficulties.’

Adults who had booked face-to-face interviews in London were directed to offices elsewhere to allow staff to concentrate on fast-track renewals.

The Home Office claimed this measure was ‘nothing out of the ordinary’ but applicants described chaotic scenes inside the offices with some people in tears.

Claire McKay spent two days frantically trying to obtain a passport for her teenage daughter to go on holiday. ‘It is very traumatic, I have been crying a lot,’ said the social worker. ‘I was very upset, but it was the only way they would understand.’

Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said: ‘This shambles just gets worse. Londoners are due to have their passport office part shut in their faces just at the time they need it most.

‘Home Secretary Theresa May has refused to say sorry for her shambles. She needs to get a grip, take responsibility and put this right.’
