Using your analogy, my worry is that the jug, being England, never changes size. You keep adding water, it overflows. This country can only support a finite amount of people, and I think we are probably bouncing around the maximum anyway. We let in as many as we can, but they ignores the overstayers and people getting illegal, so really we're over subscribed.
This country is an island. IIRC it's got roughly the same population as France, which is 5 times bigger. Wherever you go here there are people putting houses on any spare piece of land, even to the extent that green belt is being reduced. The roads are choc-a-bloc, and there are queues for pretty much everything; add to that the fact that there are not enough jobs to go around.

As Punky says, the jug runneth over... and still they try to fill it...
