There is no clearer example of the broken Westminster consensus than the last three decades of immigration policy.
Successive governments have failed to tackle illegal migration. And as I have set out in these pages, the latest attempt – the Safety of Rwanda Act – will shortly join the graveyard of policies that haven’t re-established our southern border.
But as offensive and dangerous as illegal migration is, the bigger scandal is the story of legal migration because the numbers involved are so much greater. Last year, there were about 30,000 illegal small boat arrivals, but this was dwarfed by the 1.2 million people who arrived here perfectly legally.
Mass immigration is just another way that the rich and their government stooges keep you impoverished.
