Some of these people have risked their lives to come here (you try hanging on to the underside of a Eurostar while it goes through the tunnel). Do you *really* think the vague chance they will be shot will stop them?
Anyway, while I would like to see immigration lower, I don't think they are exactly over running the country yet.

The problem is that a lot of English (not so much the Scottish and Irish, don't know about the Welsh) people are not interested in training. We appear to have this idea that the entire planet owes us something. Other races do not have this problem. I see it at work. Some races (particularly Indian & Oriental) will work hard to solve a problem. The English people often call a technician at the first sign of the problem. In one particular case, a student threatened to put in a complaint about me because Premiere (the video editing application we use) wasn't easy to use. BTW, it is, if you bother to follow the instructions.
We do need economic migrants. Look at the NHS. They are having trouble in a lot of areas recruiting enough Nurses and Doctors. Why? Not enough people are entering training. What do they do? Let people die because there aren't enough staff, and too few candidates in training? Or, recruit a Nurse or Doctor from abroad?
