There are more than 20 employees at the supermarket "Sainsbury" near Russell Square in Central Street, London, England, 15 of whom are immigrants from India, the Middle East and Africa. The nearby hamburger chain "Five Boys", except for one manager, has seven employees who are immigrants from India and Africa. Supermarket manager Aizal said: "Before Brexit, most of the staff were from Poland and Romania. The origin of foreign workers has changed, but the number has increased. ”
One of the reasons for Brexit in 2016 was "too much immigration". After the June 2016 referendum decided to leave the European Union, net migration into the UK in the following year was 230,000 people, up from the previous year (3.).30,000 people) by 30 percent. But this is only a temporary phenomenon. According to the UK Office of Statistics, the net number of immigrants entering the UK last year was 7450,000, a record high and a three-fold increase from before the Brexit referendum. The Telegraph said: "The consequences of Brexit are already being felt, and frustration and serious frustration with politics is growing. ”
After Brexit, the composition of immigrants has changed dramatically. There was a massive exodus of immigrants from Eastern Europe, and Commonwealth countries from India, Pakistan, Nigeria, and other former British colonies began to fill the position. Take Indian immigration as an example, from 3 in 201330,000 increased to 25 this year30,000 people, an increase of about 8 times. The pandemic has also played a role in changes in immigration policy. In 2020, the UK experienced a severe shortage of manpower, and in 2021 there was even a shortage of necessities and fuel. Eventually had to expand the immigration portal for short-term labor.
Last year, the number of immigrants increased by 25 per cent compared to the 600,000 people in the UK. Ukrainian refugees 1740,000 people, 12 Hong Kong British passport holdersFactors such as 50,000 people who have temporarily increased their migration have had a significant impact. In addition, illegal immigrants crossing the Anglo-Folfrom Channel between northern France and the United Kingdom were higher than in 2021 (290,000) increased by 58% to 460,000 people. On the contrary, migrants from EU countries lost more than 50,000 existing migrants last year, turning into a "net outflow".
In a study commissioned by the Home Office, the University of London said: "The UK is not popular not only in major European countries, but also in new member states (Eastern European countries). "The implication is that there will be a decrease in European migration and that migration from Asia and Africa will continue to increase. In order to reduce illegal immigration, the United Kingdom** has even introduced a policy of sending refugees to Rwanda, Africa, but it has not been effective. The Telegraph noted: "Immigrants from Asia, Africa, the Middle East are sure to raise considerable issues in terms of British social cohesion or securing tax revenues. "Being frightened by the influx of Eastern European immigrants to leave the European Union has only had the opposite effect of people from the old colonies and third world origins filling their vacancies.
