Due to these reasons, the UK has been experiencing increased immigration levels for the past decade or so.

The figures from the UK Office of National Statistics show that over the last four years, there has been a significant increase in immigration levels. The UK immigration went up from 200,000 to 333,000.

Moreover, it will reduce fears of uncontrolled immigration resulting in economic, social, cultural and security threats.
