Re: Unstoppable migration?
Quote:
Immigration to the UK has risen to a record level with 650,000 migrants in the year to June, the Office for National Statistics has said.
There was also a record number of EU citizens coming to live in Britain with the figure standing at 284,000.
Net migration - immigration minus emigration - remained at a near-record high at 335,000.
Most of the period covered by the figures was before the EU referendum but includes one week after the poll.
Net migration to the UK was the second highest figure on record - just behind the 336,000 for the 12 months to June 2015.
The number is still significantly higher that the government's target of "tens of thousands" by 2020.
Net migration from the EU was the highest figure on record with the number standing at 189,000.
