\"Immigration<\/a>
Immigration levels are more than twice what David Cameron projected for the last year.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

According to an official report released Thursday, immigration into Britain increased by 27%<\/strong><\/a> last year.<\/p>\n

In fact, net immigration is currently twice Mr Cameron\u2019s target goal of reducing immigration to \u201ctens of thousands.\u201d The results show that a net total of 201,000 EU citizens immigrated to the UK, as compared to the 158,000 immigrants last year.<\/p>\n

The already strained relationship between the EU and Britain has been further weakened by these findings, with many people believing that immigration policy will not change<\/strong> <\/a>unless Britain secedes from the EU.<\/p>\n

In 2013, a total of 526,000 people moved to the UK and 314,000 left, which resulted in the net figure of 212,000 immigrants<\/strong><\/a>. This is an increase from the 177,000 immigrants in 2012.<\/p>\n

The ONS report further shows that the total number of people coming into the UK increased 5%, with 43,000 more EU citizens and 11,000 fewer non-EU citizens arriving. According to the Office for National Statistics, 125,000 of those immigrants came to find work, up from 95,000 in 2012.<\/p>\n

In an Express report, Alan Murad, Deputy Campaign Manager of ‘Get Britain Out’ warned<\/strong><\/a>:<\/p>\n

‘These figures demonstrate that while we remain in the EU we are completely powerless to control immigration to Britain. Unless Britain leave the EU the Government will continue to have no say on the hundreds of thousands of migrants entering the UK from EU countries every year. This is putting enormous pressure on our public services, presents a real threat to British jobs and is a major risk to our economic recovery.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

UKIP leader Nigel Farage condemned<\/strong> <\/a>David Cameron for \u201cbreaking a solemn promise to the British people to get net annual immigration down to the tens of thousands.\u201d Mr. Farage further commented on immigration, which he called \u201cone of the most important political issues,\u201d saying that Mr Cameron \u201crefuses to take back control of our borders in respect of more than 400 million people from more than two dozen countries on continental Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Cameron recently “launched a full-blown attack<\/strong><\/a>” against Farage, saying that Farage is essentially an elite citizen who seeks to “‘destroy the Conservative party.'”<\/p>\n

In addition to the changes mentioned above, there was a 150 percent increase<\/strong><\/a> in people coming from Romania and Bulgaria into the UK, even before work restrictions were lifted in January. The numbers increased from just 9,000 in 2012 to 23,000 in 2013. Approximately 70 percent of these immigrants came to find work.<\/p>\n

Other increases came from countries like Poland (from 11,000 to 102,000), Italy (from 9,000 to 42,000), and Bulgaria (from 7,000 to 18,000).
\nChairman of the Commons Home Affairs Select Committee Keith Vaz said: \u201cControlling EU migration is impossible without reform. It is clear that the Government\u2019s aim is unrealistic and unachievable. The Government should drop its target now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Interestingly, reports in The Telegraph<\/strong><\/a> and BBC News UK<\/strong><\/a> say that net migration remains unchanged at 212,000 per quarter, although that number is still twice that of the Government\u2019s target of less than 100,000 immigrants a year.<\/p>\n

However, later on in the BBC News article, the reporter mentions the same figures as the other articles: 201,000 EU citizens migrated to the UK as long-term citizens, a statistical increase of 43,000 over the previous year. How does net migration remain the same if it increased by 43,000 people? Apparently the \u201cmovements of other categories of people\u201d cancelled this effect, causing the net migration numbers to remain unchanged.<\/p>\n

Mr Cameron is now drawing up new immigration laws<\/strong><\/a> to counteract UKIP and ameliorate anger over this rise in EU immigrants moving to Britain.<\/p>\n

Not even David Cameron can reduce the number of immigrants to Britain, as long as immigration laws in the EU remain unchanged.<\/p>\n
