Britain has up to 1.2 million illegal immigrants, a quarter of all those that
have unlawfully entered Europe, an authoritative study has revealed.


The number of illegal immigrants in the UK has doubled in a decade with
more than half having lived illegally in the UK for more than five
years ( and of course using the NHS) and a third more than ten years,

according to the pan-European analysis by the respected Pew Research Centre.


Only Germany has a similar number of illegal immigrants with between one
million and 1.2 million, which means that it and the UK account for half of all
those who have unlawfully entered Europe.


The research - the first study of its kind in a decade to cover all 32 European
nations - exposes the scale of the migrant crisis and how Britain’s ineffective
border controls have failed to stem illegal immigration.


David Wood, former head of immigration enforcement at the Home Office, said
officials knew the scale of the problem from secret internal estimates which
showed at least 150,000 foreign nationals enter the UK illegally each
year and then disappear into the black economy.


Commenting on the figures, Professor Andrew Geddes, of the European
University, said the migration crisis had undermined the public’s trust in the
ability of Governments to deal with immigration. “It had negative effects on
attitudes to the competence of Governments to deal with it,” he said.
