According to a recent article on Townhall.com, “One in four children born last year in the U.K. had a foreign-born mother.”  The article notes:  “The figures bring into focus the huge increase in immigration that began after the last Labour government took office in 1997.”

The article highlights the impact of immigration on the U.K.’s population growth — and reporter Andre Walker takes note of organizations which have long called for a serious reduction of immigration levels.  

Walker notes:  “Alp Mahmet from the Migration Watch pressure group said:  ‘These official figures support what we have been saying for some time –

Mahmet added:  “Clearly the longer population grows, the greater the volume of people in the country.  It doesn’t take a genius to work out that it will put pressure on a whole range of services, including…

…schools…

…housing…

…and hospitals.

It is unsustainable.
