This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Rejected petition 278,481 New emigrants/year - Tighten migration!
More details
I strongly believe that the United Kingdom needs to set a limit on emigration numbers, Especially incoming!
Emigration has soared since the 2001 Census when British were the majority at 85.67% - In 2011 Census, British were obviously the majority again but with a decrease of 5.17% taking it down to 80.5%
That is on average an increase of 0.5% Migration every year which is on average 278,481 NEW emigrants every year - Based on the population and Census data between 2001 and 2011.
Not to mention the emigrants who are here illegaly and were weary of filling in the Census - There for are under the radar.
If emigration was to continue at 0.5% per year for the next 60 years then Britain would be overrun by emigrants from all walks of life bringing there differenting polictical views and inevitably clashing with each other in the process.
