Damien was specifically pointing out the focus of the news, which was the Channel crossers - you are conflating issues.
And you are quoting Migration Watch, which has "form" in rabble-rousing and overstated numbers...
btw, you appear to have accidentally missed out the part of the article which contradicts your point
Quote:
Taking into account an average of just over 35,000 departures a year, this works out at a net growth of nearly 70,000, according to the campaign body.
It described the scale of illegal immigration as a “scandal”.
And it called for measures including the rollout of ID cards.
But the Home Office said it did not “recognise” the figure, saying it is not possible to estimate the size of the illegal population “with any confidence”.
